C 60x40x20x2 Tecnometal · Weight & Dimensions

Tecnometal, cold-formed sections (Italy) · Cold-formed Lipped Channel

Cold-formed lipped channels (C shapes) are lightweight profiles commonly used as purlins, girts, and light framing members. The stiffening lips increase local buckling resistance. Designed per AISI S100 and NBR 14762.

Also known as: Montén de 2 ½ pulgadas (México) · PFC 60x40x20x2 (UK / Australia)

The C 60x40x20x2 steel profile weighs 2.6 kg/m (1.76 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 40 mm (1.57 in). Cross-sectional area: 333.684 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 18.261 cm⁴, Iy = 8.201 cm⁴.
