The difference between European standard channel steel UPN and UPE

The difference between European standard channel steel UPN and UPE

In the construction, engineering, and manufacturing industries, Eurosteel is often used, with UPN and UPE being common types. Although they have similarities, there are some differences in their appearance. This article will provide a detailed description of the appearance differences between UPN and UPE European standard channel steel from multiple perspectives, helping you better understand and choose the appropriate product.

1. Size

There is a certain difference in size between UPN and UPE European standard steel. The size range of UPN channel steel is relatively small, and common sizes include UPN80, UPN100, UPN120, etc. The size range of UPE channel steel is relatively wider, including UPE80, UPE100, UPE120, etc. Different sizes of channel steel are suitable for different engineering and manufacturing needs.

2. Shape

UPN and UPE channel steel also have some differences in shape. The cross-sectional shape of UPN channel steel is U-shaped, with narrow legs on both sides. The cross-sectional shape of UPE channel steel is also U-shaped, but the legs on both sides are wider, more suitable for bearing large loads. Therefore, if you need to use UPE channel steel for projects with high load-bearing capacity, it would be more suitable.

3. Weight

The weight of UPN and UPE channel steel is also different. Due to the wider leg shape of UPE channel steel, it is relatively heavier compared to UPN channel steel. In engineering design, it is very important to choose the weight of channel steel reasonably, and the appropriate weight of channel steel can ensure the stability and safety of the structure.
