This C15 x 33.9 structural channel is made from A36 hot rolled steel, offering a 15-inch depth and 33.9 lbs/ft weight. Conforming to ASTM A36, it provides a minimum yield strength of 36,000 PSI and excellent weldability for structural framing. In stock Los Angeles.
- A36 Carbon Steel Construction
- ASTM A36 Certified
- 36,000 PSI Minimum Yield Strength
- Excellent Weldability & Formability
A36 hot rolled channel is a structural carbon steel shape with a C-shaped cross-section, produced by passing heated steel through rollers. This process results in a rougher, scaled surface finish and slightly rounded corners. Conforming to ASTM A36, this grade offers a cost-effective balance of strength, ductility, and excellent weldability for general structural and fabrication purposes where tight tolerances are not required.
As a large profile channel, the C15 x 33.9 size is engineered for significant load-bearing applications. It is a foundational component in heavy equipment frames, trailer chassis, building supports, and industrial mezzanines where robust structural performance and ease of fabrication are critical design requirements.

Finish Options
This product comes standard with a hot rolled mill finish, characterized by a dark, scaled surface. This surface must be removed by grinding or sandblasting before painting for proper adhesion. For enhanced corrosion resistance in outdoor applications, hot-dip galvanizing is a common and effective option after fabrication. Contact our Los Angeles sales team for custom finish inquiries.
How to Measure
Structural channel is designated by its Depth (A) in inches and its nominal Weight in pounds per foot. Other key measurements are the Flange Width (B) and Web Thickness (C).
Example: To order this channel, specify "C15 x 33.9 A36 Hot Rolled Channel".
