U 200x65x3 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 200x65x3 (UK / Australia)

The U 200x65x3 steel profile weighs 7.5 kg/m (5.07 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 65 mm (2.56 in). Cross-sectional area: 960.394 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 549.387 cm⁴, Iy = 35.995 cm⁴.
