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 200x60x3.2 steel profile weighs 7.8 kg/m (5.22 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 990.315 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 552.19 cm⁴, Iy = 30.493 cm⁴.
