Commercial, Serviacero

Differences between CPS Channel and U Channel

The U channel and the CPS channel are considered structural irons, both are essential since they can be used to carry out multiple projects in industries, we tell you about their differences, applications and characteristics.  

 

These types of channels are sold in two standard lengths: 6.10 and 12.20 meters long. They are sold in different weights and in heights ranging from a minimum of 3 inches to a maximum of 15 inches.  

 

What are the main differences between Canal CPS and Canal U?  

 

  • It is important to mention that both channels are manufactured under the A36 standard, one of the main differences between them is that the CPS channel has a galvanized finish which gives it greater resistance and its properties against corrosion or oxidation stand out.  
  • Also, being made of A36 steel, they are materials that have the ability to not deform, which is essential in the industry as it guarantees the integrity of the projects in which they are used.  
  • Another difference is that the CPS channel, having a galvanized finish, has a longer life span than the U channel.  
  • It also requires less care and maintenance compared to carbon steel.  
  • CPS is a material that has a greater capacity to resist high temperatures.  
  • It is also another difference since, being galvanized steel, the price is usually higher compared to steel that does not have any type of finish.  
  • The CPS channel is a material which must undergo various certification tests to guarantee its good performance and feasibility in projects.  
  • The CPS channel has greater ductility and resistance capacity.
