U 200x60x4.25
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.
The U 200x60x4.25 steel profile weighs 15.3 kg/m (10.31 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,305.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 719.67 cm⁴, Iy = 35.86 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 4.25 mm ≈ 8 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
