C 60x50x20x3 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 60x50x20x3 (UK / Australia)

The C 60x50x20x3 steel profile weighs 4.3 kg/m (2.86 lb/ft), has a depth of 60 mm (2.36 in), flange width 50 mm (1.97 in). Cross-sectional area: 540.789 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 30.001 cm⁴, Iy = 19.053 cm⁴.
