Cimagbo, cold-formed sections · 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 30x30x2 steel profile weighs 1.3 kg/m (0.88 lb/ft), has a depth of 30 mm (1.18 in), flange width 30 mm (1.18 in). Cross-sectional area: 166.842 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 2.535 cm⁴, Iy = 1.553 cm⁴.
