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 250x100x2 (UK / Australia)
The U 250x100x2 steel profile weighs 7.0 kg/m (4.67 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 888 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 856.97 cm⁴, Iy = 83.96 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 2 mm ≈ 14 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
