C 150x50x20x2.5 SAISC · Weight & Dimensions

SAISC, cold-formed sections · Cold-formed Lipped Channel

Cold-formed lipped channels (C shapes) are lightweight profiles commonly used as purlins, girts, and light framing members. The stiffening lips increase local buckling resistance. Designed per AISI S100 and NBR 14762.

Also known as: Montén de 6 pulgadas (México) · PFC 150x50x20x2.5 (UK / Australia)

The C 150x50x20x2.5 steel profile weighs 5.3 kg/m (3.58 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 50 mm (1.97 in). Cross-sectional area: 683.881 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 226.255 cm⁴, Iy = 23.382 cm⁴.
