JC 125 section properties

As printed in IS 808 Table 7 - Sloping Flange Channels. 125 mm deep, 50 mm wide. Units are shown on every row, because the two standards on this site use different ones for the radius of gyration.

What a length of JC 125 weighs

Total weight is the mass per metre multiplied by the length and the number of pieces. Ten pieces of JC 125 at six metres each is 7.9 × 6 × 10 = 474 kg. There is nothing else to it — the standard publishes the mass, so no one needs to compute it from the area.

You can check that mass against the area on this page: 10 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ is 7.85 kg/m. Every row in this dataset was checked that way, which is how the contradictions flagged on some of these pages were found.

Common questions about JC 125

What is the weight of JC 125 per metre?

IS 808 : 2021 gives JC 125 a mass of 7.9 kg per metre. Its printed cross-sectional area of 10 cm² agrees: 10 cm² of steel at 7 850 kg/m³ works out at 7.85 kg per metre.

How much does a 6 m length of JC 125 weigh?

47.40 kg. Mass per metre times length: 7.9 × 6. Ten such pieces come to 474 kg.

Is JC 125 the same as ISJC 125?

It is the same section under the name IS 808 : 2021 gives it — the 2021 revision of IS 808 dropped the "IS" prefix, so a drawing saying ISJC 125 means this section. Check the edition before assuming the figures match, though: this page publishes the current tables, and a great many tables in circulation were copied from the 1989 edition.

What are the dimensions of JC 125?

125 mm deep and 50 mm wide, with a 3 mm web and 6.6 mm flanges.

Where these figures come from. IS 808 Table 7 - Sloping Flange Channels Section properties are facts published in the standards, and they are reproduced here as printed. Where a standard contradicts itself, both of its figures are shown and neither is corrected.

What is ours. The selection and arrangement of these tables, the checks run against them, and the findings those checks produced — which rows disagree with themselves, which figures were superseded by amendment, and which could not be read — are QuickBOQ’s work, and so is this wording. Quote the numbers freely; they belong to everyone. Copying the compilation and the commentary is a different thing, and we would rather you linked to it.
