What is Indian Standard Medium Channel (ISMC)?

ISMC (Indian Standard Medium Channel) is a structural steel C-channel section, hot-rolled with two horizontal flanges and a vertical web, standardised under IS 808. ISMC channels are widely used in structural framing, equipment supports, railings, and staircase structures. Related Indian standard sections include ISMB (I-Section Beam), ISJB (Junior Beam), ISLB (Light Weight Beam), and ISWB (Wide Flange Beam) — see our size and weight charts below for ISMC specifically.

Code	Full Form
ISMB	Indian Standard Medium Weight Beam
ISMC	Indian Standard Medium Weight Channel
ISJB	Indian Standard Junior Beam
ISLB	Indian Standard Light Weight Beam
ISWB	Indian Standard Wide Flange Beam

Total Channel Weight (by length): Total Weight (kg) = Weight per Metre (kg/m) × Length (m)
Multiple Channels: Total Steel Weight (kg) = Single Channel Weight (kg) × Number of Channels
From Known Cross-Sectional Area: Channel Weight (kg) = Cross-Sectional Area (mm²) × Length (m) × 0.00785

How to Use the Channel Weight Calculator

Choose the Material: Begin by selecting the material of the C channel from the 'Channel Material' dropdown menu. The 'Density' box will automatically update based on your chosen material.
If necessary, you can manually adjust the 'Density' value, although it's preset according to industry standards for accuracy.
Set the Quantity: Update the number of C channels you want to calculate by using the 'Quantity' dropdown. This allows you to determine the total weight for multiple channels.
Enter Dimensions: Input the dimensions for the C channel, including 'Length,' 'Width,' 'Height,' and 'Thickness.'
Select the appropriate units for each measurement from the available options in the dropdown menu, which include millimeters, centimeters, meters, inches, and feet.
Note: If you choose inches as your unit, ensure you use whole numbers or decimal forms (e.g., 0.25 instead of 1/4) for precise calculation.

FAQ

How to calculate channel weight?

To calculate the unit weight of an MS (Mild Steel) channel, you use the formula weight = volume × density, with steel having a density of 7850 kg/m³. First, determine the volume by multiplying the web's height by the flange's width and the channel's thickness.

What is the weight of the C channel in KG?

A standard ISMC 100×50mm C channel weighs 9.56 kg per metre; ISMC 150×75mm weighs 16.8 kg per metre; ISMC 200×75mm weighs 22.3 kg per metre. For any custom size, use the calculator above, or check the C Channel Weight Chart and Channel Weight in Kg tables on this page for standard ISMC sizes from 75×40mm to 400×100mm.

What is the standard size of C channels?

The most commonly used ISMC (Indian Standard Medium Channel) sizes are 75×40mm, 100×50mm, 125×65mm, 150×75mm, 175×75mm, 200×75mm, 250×82mm, 300×90mm, and 400×100mm — see the full weight chart above for the exact weight of each size.

How to calculate MS C channel weight?

How to Calculate MS C Channel Weight: To calculate the weight of a Mild Steel (MS) C-channel, you can use the formula:
Weight (kg/m)=(Width of the flange−Thickness of the flange)×Thickness of the web×0.00785

What is the formula for MS channel weight calculation?

Weight (kg/m) = [(Width + Height − 2 × Thickness) × Thickness × 2] × 0.00785, using mild steel density of 7850 kg/m³. For an ISMC 100×50×5mm channel: (100 + 50 − 10) × 5 × 2 × 0.00785 = 11.0 kg/m (approximate — use the calculator above for exact figures accounting for fillet radii).

What is an ISMC weight calculator?

An ISMC weight calculator computes the weight of Indian Standard Medium Channel sections based on their dimensions and material density. Our calculator above supports ISMC sizes from 75×40mm to 400×100mm in mild steel, carbon steel, and other structural grades — enter your dimensions to get an instant weight per metre, per foot, or for the total cut length.

What is the HSN code for ISMC channel?

Steel channels (including ISMC sections) generally fall under HSN code 7216 (angles, shapes and sections of iron or non-alloy steel). The exact 6-8 digit sub-classification depends on the specific dimensions and finish — confirm the precise code with your GST practitioner or customs broker before filing, as classification can affect applicable GST rate.

What are C channels used for?

C channels (ISMC sections) are widely used in structural framing and equipment supports, building and platform construction, steel railings and staircase structures, machinery frames, and general fabrication where a lightweight but rigid structural section is needed.
