UPE 120
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 120 steel profile weighs 12.1 kg/m (8.13 lb/ft), has a depth of 120 mm (4.72 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,125 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 245.33 cm⁴, Iy = 35.24 cm⁴.
