UPN 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 UPN 240 steel profile weighs 33.2 kg/m (22.31 lb/ft), has a depth of 240 mm (9.45 in), flange width 85 mm (3.35 in). Cross-sectional area: 3,624.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2,875.98 cm⁴, Iy = 193.3 cm⁴.
