Profile Section
260x90x3.5mm S355JR Uncoated Steel Sigma Profile
The 260x90x3.5mm steel Sigma profile is a cold roll-formed section to EN 10162 with a stiffened, indented 260 mm web, 90 mm flanges with 30 mm edge lips and 3.5 mm sheet thickness, weighing a nominal 14.19 kg/m. Produced to order in uncoated S355JR steel, the Σ geometry moves the shear centre towards the section centroid — higher load capacity and less twist than an equivalent C profile at the same weight. This variant is uncoated cold-rolled structural strip in grade S355JR (EN 10025), minimum yield about 355 MPa. Choose it when the same section has to carry more load than S235JR. The surface is bare — specify paint or hot-dip galvanizing in the quote for outdoor use.
Made to Order — Roll Formed
This profile is roll-formed to order in your exact length (1–15 m; longer on project basis). Minimum production run is approx. 3000 kg per size and grade. Add your sizes to a quote request and our team confirms lead time and pricing within one business day.

Applications & Usage
Sigma 260x90x3.5 is the weight-optimized choice for solar tracker and fixed-tilt rafters, long-span purlins, racking and shelving uprights, and light steel structures where every kilogram of steel and foundation load counts. The indented web raises buckling resistance, allowing thinner material for the same performance. S355JR is the higher-strength uncoated grade for load-bearing purlins, columns and frames where S235JR would need a heavier section. At a nominal 14.19 kg/m and cut-to-length production from 1 to 15 m, material usage is optimized with no offcuts on site. Minimum production run is approximately 3000 kg per size and grade — add your sizes to a quote request and our team confirms exact tonnage, lead time and delivered pricing.

Indicative elastic section properties computed from the nominal centerline (thin-walled, corner radii ignored). For preliminary sizing only — not a substitute for a stamped structural calculation.
Indicative load span (single span, simply supported)
Allowable uniformly-distributed load (kN/m) limited by elastic bending about the strong axis (γ = 1.5 on yield, S355JR). Deflection is not checked and usually governs long spans. Indicative only — confirm with a project calculation.
