UPE 160
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 160 steel profile weighs 17.0 kg/m (11.42 lb/ft), has a depth of 160 mm (6.30 in), flange width 70 mm (2.76 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,559.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 592.61 cm⁴, Iy = 65.03 cm⁴.
