U 150x60x4.25
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 150x60x4.25 (UK / Australia)
The U 150x60x4.25 steel profile weighs 8.5 kg/m (5.69 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,093.3 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 361.39 cm⁴, Iy = 33.23 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 4.25 mm ≈ 8 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
