UPE 270
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 270 steel profile weighs 35.2 kg/m (23.65 lb/ft), has a depth of 270 mm (10.63 in), flange width 95 mm (3.74 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,281.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,392.09 cm⁴, Iy = 235.4 cm⁴.
