U 150x60x3.05
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 150x60x3.05 (UK / Australia)
The U 150x60x3.05 steel profile weighs 6.2 kg/m (4.16 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 795.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 268.23 cm⁴, Iy = 25.29 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 3.05 mm ≈ 11 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
