U 75x40x3.35

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 75x40x3.35 (UK / Australia)

The U 75x40x3.35 steel profile weighs 3.7 kg/m (2.51 lb/ft), has a depth of 75 mm (2.95 in), flange width 40 mm (1.57 in). Cross-sectional area: 485.6 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 41.81 cm⁴, Iy = 6.85 cm⁴.
