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 140x45x6.35 steel profile weighs 10.4 kg/m (7.00 lb/ft), has a depth of 140 mm (5.51 in), flange width 45 mm (1.77 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,327.859 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 339.374 cm⁴, Iy = 21.813 cm⁴.
