U 100x40x3.75 Tecnometal · Weight & Dimensions

Tecnometal, cold-formed sections (Brazil) · 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.

Also known as: U 100x40x3.75 (UK / Australia)

The U 100x40x3.75 steel profile weighs 4.9 kg/m (3.32 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 40 mm (1.57 in). Cross-sectional area: 628.741 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 89.757 cm⁴, Iy = 9.14 cm⁴.
