U 127x50x4.75
BR — 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.
Also known as: U 127x50x4.75 (UK / Australia)
The U 127x50x4.75 steel profile weighs 11.3 kg/m (7.62 lb/ft), has a depth of 127 mm (5.00 in), flange width 50 mm (1.97 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,010.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 233.01 cm⁴, Iy = 20.09 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 4.75 mm ≈ 7 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
