Export Steel Profiles: Angle Bar, Channel Bar, and T-Bar
Introduction
Steel profiles, including Angle Bars, Channel Bars, and T-Bars, are fundamental components in the global construction and industrial sectors. These sections are defined by their dimensions, thickness, and length—factors that directly influence their mechanical properties and export pricing. Ahanist Trading Group provides a comprehensive range of high-quality steel profiles tailored for international markets, ensuring durability and compliance with global standards.
Why Buy Steel Profiles from Iran?
Iran is a leading global producer of steel sections, offering several strategic advantages for international buyers:
- Competitive Pricing: Low production and energy costs in Iran result in highly competitive export prices.
- Superior Quality: Iranian mills utilize advanced technology to produce steel that meets international benchmarks (such as DIN and EN).
- Logistical Advantage: Strategic geographical location and established land/sea borders with neighboring countries significantly reduce transit times and shipping costs.
Export Angle Bars (L-Profiles)
Angle bars, or L-sections, are versatile profiles used in bridges, power towers, and structural framing. Ahanist Trading Group exports various sizes, including:
- 30x30x3 mm to 70x70x7 mm
- Heavy sizes: 140x140x12 mm and 160x160x16 mm
Production Process
- Hot-Rolled Angle Bars: Produced at high temperatures, offering excellent workability for structural use.
- Cold-Rolled (Cold-Formed) Angle Bars: Known for higher dimensional precision and a smoother surface finish.

Export Channel Bars (U-Profiles)
Steel channels are essential for manufacturing vehicle frames, building structures, and machinery. We export the most in-demand international types:
- UPE: Channels with parallel flanges.
- UPN (UNP): Standard channels with tapered flanges.
- C-Channel: Lightweight sections for specialized industrial applications.

| Size (mm) | Approx. Weight per 6m Bar (kg) |
|---|---|
| 60 (U6) | 21 |
| 80 (U8) | 25 / 30 / 38 |
| 100 (U10) | 35 / 40 / 48 |
| 120 (U12) | 50 / 60 |
| 140 (U14) | 66 / 80 |
Export T-Bars (T-Profiles)
T-bars, or Tee sections, are widely used in reinforced concrete and metal framing, particularly in window and door manufacturing.
- Standard Sizes: T-40 and T-50 are the primary export grades.

FAQ
What are the standard lengths for export profiles?
Most profiles are supplied in standard 6-meter or 12-meter lengths, depending on customer requirements.
Do you provide mill test certificates (MTC)?
Yes, all export products from Ahanist Trading Group come with official quality certificates and chemical analysis reports.
What is the difference between UPN and UPE channels?
UPN has tapered (sloped) flanges, while UPE has parallel flanges, which are often preferred for easier bolting and welding.
How is the price of export angle bars calculated?
Pricing is determined by weight (per ton), steel grade, and the current international market exchange rates.
