UPE 140
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 140 steel profile weighs 14.5 kg/m (9.74 lb/ft), has a depth of 140 mm (5.51 in), flange width 65 mm (2.56 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,275 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 376.02 cm⁴, Iy = 46.73 cm⁴.
