Question:

14 of channel steel and 12 of I-beam which force?

14 of channel steel and 12 of I-beam which force?

Answer:

The mechanical parameters of 14 channel steel are larger than that of 12, including the moment of inertia, the radius of inertia and the coefficient of cross section. Therefore, the same length of 14 channel steel can bear a greater force.
Channel steel is a kind of carbon structural steel used for construction and machinery. It is a complex section steel. Its cross section has a groove shape. Channel steel is mainly used in building structure, curtain wall engineering, mechanical equipment and vehicle manufacturing, etc.. In use, it requires better welding, riveting performance and comprehensive mechanical properties. The raw material steel billet for channel steel is carbon or low alloy steel billets with a carbon content of not more than 0.25%. The finished channel steel is delivered by hot forming, normalizing or hot rolling.
Direction of forceSpecific forces can be checked by mechanical design manuals or material manualsIn the same direction, the flexural section coefficient or the moment of inertia is larger and the force is large
14 of channel steel should be big.To help you check the manual, 14 of the channel mechanical parameters are greater than 12 of the I-beam, including the moment of inertia, the radius of inertia, cross section coefficients.Therefore, the same length of 14 channel steel can bear a greater force. (of course, in the same force.)However, the weight of channel steel 14 per metre is greater than that of 12 i-beam.
