UPE 240
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 240 steel profile weighs 30.2 kg/m (20.29 lb/ft), has a depth of 240 mm (9.45 in), flange width 90 mm (3.54 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,793 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,315.45 cm⁴, Iy = 184.24 cm⁴.
