BR — Cold-formed Lipped Channel
Cold-formed lipped channels (C shapes) are lightweight profiles commonly used as purlins, girts, and light framing members. The stiffening lips increase local buckling resistance. Designed per AISI S100 and NBR 14762.
Also known as: Montén de 10 pulgadas (México) · PFC 250x85x25x3.35 (UK / Australia)
The C 250x85x25x3.35 steel profile weighs 16.7 kg/m (11.22 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 85 mm (3.35 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,529.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,446.53 cm⁴, Iy = 145.33 cm⁴.
