U 150x60x2.66
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 150x60x2.66 (UK / Australia)
The U 150x60x2.66 steel profile weighs 5.4 kg/m (3.65 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 697 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 236.48 cm⁴, Iy = 22.48 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 2.66 mm ≈ 12 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
