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.
The U 100x60x4.75 steel profile weighs 7.6 kg/m (5.12 lb/ft), has a depth of 100 mm (3.94 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 970.781 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 151.544 cm⁴, Iy = 34.935 cm⁴.
