U 50x25x2.28 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 50x25x2.28 (UK / Australia)

The U 50x25x2.28 steel profile weighs 1.7 kg/m (1.12 lb/ft), has a depth of 50 mm (1.97 in), flange width 25 mm (0.98 in). Cross-sectional area: 210.9 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 7.863 cm⁴, Iy = 1.266 cm⁴.

Cross-section (not to scale)

Gauge equivalent: 2.28 mm ≈ 13 gauge (Manufacturers Standard Gage)
