U 150x60x1.5
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 150x60x1.5 (UK / Australia)
The U 150x60x1.5 steel profile weighs 3.1 kg/m (2.09 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 398.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 137.69 cm⁴, Iy = 13.41 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 1.5 mm ≈ 16 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
