U 240x60x3.05
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.
The U 240x60x3.05 steel profile weighs 12.9 kg/m (8.69 lb/ft), has a depth of 240 mm (9.45 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,070.1 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 825.78 cm⁴, Iy = 28.47 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 3.05 mm ≈ 11 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
