U 150x50x2.28 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 150x50x2.28 (UK / Australia)

The U 150x50x2.28 steel profile weighs 4.3 kg/m (2.92 lb/ft), has a depth of 150 mm (5.91 in), flange width 50 mm (1.97 in). Cross-sectional area: 552.9 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 179.086 cm⁴, Iy = 12.378 cm⁴.
