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 150x75x2 steel profile weighs 4.6 kg/m (3.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 75 mm (2.95 in). Cross-sectional area: 586.842 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 213.267 cm⁴, Iy = 33.591 cm⁴.
