U 100x50x1.9 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 100x50x1.9 (UK / Australia)

The U 100x50x1.9 steel profile weighs 2.9 kg/m (1.94 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 50 mm (1.97 in). Cross-sectional area: 368.125 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 58.655 cm⁴, Iy = 9.272 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 1.9 mm ≈ 14 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
