U 150x60x2
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 (UK / Australia)
The U 150x60x2 steel profile weighs 4.1 kg/m (2.77 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 528 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 181.08 cm⁴, Iy = 17.45 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 2 mm ≈ 14 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
