U 230 x 32,2 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 230 x 32,2 (UK / Australia)

The U 230 x 32,2 steel profile weighs 32.2 kg/m (21.63 lb/ft), has a depth of 230 mm (9.06 in), flange width 90 mm (3.54 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,096.805 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 3,518.371 cm⁴, Iy = 334.113 cm⁴.
