Tecnometal, cold-formed sections (Italy) · 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.
The U 120x60x4 steel profile weighs 7.1 kg/m (4.78 lb/ft), has a depth of 120 mm (4.72 in), flange width 60 mm (2.36 in). Cross-sectional area: 907.368 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 201 cm⁴, Iy = 32.073 cm⁴.
