U 240x60x2.25
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 240x60x2.25 steel profile weighs 9.5 kg/m (6.41 lb/ft), has a depth of 240 mm (9.45 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 794.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 619.23 cm⁴, Iy = 21.83 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 2.25 mm ≈ 13 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
