U profiles

Introduction

U-profiles can be used for the vertical clamping of elements or as a base profile.
They can be made of bent steel or UNP (as shown in the drawing above). They essentially differ in the type of material. The choice depends essentially on the installation environment. They are semi-finished products.

Table fields (U-profiles)

• Code: the code defines the shape of the profile, normally = UG. Different profile shapes can be defined during customisation and different codes will be defined accordingly.
• Material: material abbreviation. By opening the drop-down menu of the Material field, you see a list of all available materials and can choose the correct abbreviation.
• Width: width of the semi-finished product (Dimension H of the drawing above).
• Height: height of the semi-finished product (Dimension B of the drawing above).
• Thickness 1: thickness 1 of the profile (Dimension S of the drawing above).
• Thickness 2: thickness 2 of the profile (Dimension T of the drawing above).
• Weight kg/m: weight per meter. Value to be retrieved from supplier's table.
• Article: to select the material, use the article code of your management system. This value will allow the applications to retrieve the description and unit cost into the table Material Unit Cost by importing the list of materials available in your warehouse.
