UPN 260
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 260 steel profile weighs 37.9 kg/m (25.47 lb/ft), has a depth of 260 mm (10.24 in), flange width 90 mm (3.54 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,100 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,803.42 cm⁴, Iy = 243.51 cm⁴.
