U 250x75x2.65 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 250x75x2.65 (UK / Australia)

The U 250x75x2.65 steel profile weighs 8.1 kg/m (5.47 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 75 mm (2.95 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,036.899 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 917.474 cm⁴, Iy = 50.718 cm⁴.
