L 60x40x6
EN — Angle Section
Angle sections (L shapes) are used for bracing, connections, lintels, and built-up members. Available in equal and unequal leg configurations.
The L 60x40x6 steel profile weighs 4.5 kg/m (3.00 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 40 mm (1.57 in). Cross-sectional area: 564 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 20.35 cm⁴, Iy = 7.28 cm⁴.
