U 240x60x2.66
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 240x60x2.66 steel profile weighs 11.3 kg/m (7.58 lb/ft), has a depth of 240 mm (9.45 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 936.4 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 725.96 cm⁴, Iy = 25.3 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 2.66 mm ≈ 12 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
