U 200 x 23,5 British Steel · Weight & Dimensions

British Steel, hot-rolled sections · 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 200 x 23,5 (UK / Australia)

The U 200 x 23,5 steel profile weighs 23.5 kg/m (15.77 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 75 mm (2.95 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,986.805 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,962.856 cm⁴, Iy = 169.985 cm⁴.
