UPE 100

EN — Cold-formed Channel

Cold-formed channels (U shapes) are similar to C shapes but without stiffening lips. Used for light structural framing, supports, and secondary members.

The UPE 100 steel profile weighs 9.8 kg/m (6.60 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 55 mm (2.17 in). Cross-sectional area: 884.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 136.37 cm⁴, Iy = 23.81 cm⁴.
