U 127x60x3.75 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 127x60x3.75 (UK / Australia)

The U 127x60x3.75 steel profile weighs 6.9 kg/m (4.64 lb/ft), has a depth of 127 mm (5.00 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 879.991 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 217.015 cm⁴, Iy = 30.857 cm⁴.
