U 250x100x3.35
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 250x100x3.35 (UK / Australia)
The U 250x100x3.35 steel profile weighs 11.5 kg/m (7.73 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 100 mm (3.94 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,473.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,403.83 cm⁴, Iy = 135.27 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 3.35 mm ≈ 10 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
