UPN 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 UPN 160 steel profile weighs 18.8 kg/m (12.63 lb/ft), has a depth of 160 mm (6.30 in), flange width 65 mm (2.56 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,006.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 723.53 cm⁴, Iy = 64.94 cm⁴.
