UPE 400
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 400 steel profile weighs 72.2 kg/m (48.52 lb/ft), has a depth of 400 mm (15.75 in), flange width 115 mm (4.53 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,958.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 16,734.04 cm⁴, Iy = 705.97 cm⁴.
