U 300x90x2.25
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 300x90x2.25 steel profile weighs 12.2 kg/m (8.19 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 90 mm (3.54 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,064.8 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,370.15 cm⁴, Iy = 73.19 cm⁴.
Cross-section (not to scale)
Gauge equivalent: 2.25 mm ≈ 13 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
