Simple steps to planning your project.
First and foremost, if you calculate the weight of the cable or pipes you are supporting you can then, use our datasheet which is downloadable from our website, to calculate what size channel you need. Channel Datasheet.
Please note, projects are often specified with 41mm x 41mm x 2.5mm used whereas 41mm x 21mm lightweight could be used, which would give you vast overall project saving savings.
So an example is, if you have 30kg to support on a 1mtr span of channel standard 41mm x 41mm x 2.5mm channel could take up to 190kg whereas you could use 41mm x 21mm lightweight channel which could give you up to 35kg giving you approx—40% product savings. Please note load points make a big difference in weight loadings.
To help you work out what the (N) newton to (KG) Kilogram conversion is 1N = 0.10197 kg.
