Lipped & Open Channels

 

Constantly evolving.

C-channel and lip channel were Tubecon's first steps into the field of cold rolled open profiles. Commonly used in steel construction, lip channels offers a versatile yet very cost effective alternative which neatly compliments the wide range of tubing solutions that Tubecon has been manufacturing and supplying for years.

Tubecon has the capacity to manufacture a variety of cold-formed open sections and lip channels catering for a wide spectrum of industries in South Africa. Being able to roll these open channels from a variety of materials, including pre-galvanized Z275 and Z450 materials and 3CR12 stainless steel, provides our customers a solution for the majority of their steel and structural problems. The table below indicates sizes, material and wall thickness combinations of common cold formed steel open sections and lip channels:

Being a latecomer to this market, brings the advantage of the latest production technology and highest quality manufacturing processes available. Computer-controlled equipment enables Tubecon to cold roll almost any U-channel, lip channel or open profile to the custom requirements of our customers. Cutting to size and within the customers tolerance preference, along with the capacity of in-line hole punching on lip channels and open sections adds great value to our product.


Within the range displayed in the sketch, any desired size is possible. lipchannel_drawing_.jpg
Again, large volumes are no prerequisite to obtain a custom product.
True to our policy, fast delivery times and special lengths apply as much to this product as they do to our steel tubing.
