IAS, 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 120x75x4 steel profile weighs 8.1 kg/m (5.42 lb/ft), has a depth of 120 mm (4.72 in), flange width 75 mm (2.95 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,027.368 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 241.384 cm⁴, Iy = 59.485 cm⁴.
