U 200x50x1.9 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 200x50x1.9 (UK / Australia)

The U 200x50x1.9 steel profile weighs 4.4 kg/m (2.94 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 50 mm (1.97 in). Cross-sectional area: 558.125 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 301.351 cm⁴, Iy = 11.211 cm⁴.
