U 150x60x2.25
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 150x60x2.25 (UK / Australia)
The U 150x60x2.25 steel profile weighs 4.6 kg/m (3.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 592.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 202.31 cm⁴, Iy = 19.4 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 2.25 mm ≈ 13 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
