 Company Background
Introduction

Since its modest beginning in 1978, United U-LI Corporation has developed into a prominent and respected supplier
of cable management and structural support systems in the ASEAN region.

The company initially engaged in engineering works and the trading of cable support systems and began the
manufacturing of cable support systems on a modest scale.

Over the years, the company has grown tremendously and has equipped the 3-acre factory with state-of-the-art
machinery, for the purpose of providing guaranteed internationally approved products to customers.

In April 2002, the company was listed in the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, being the first company in the cable
management industry in Malaysia to do so. The company will now have better financial strength and commitment to
enhance the quality of its service and products for customers.

Materials
General
U-LI’s standard UliStrut® range of metal framing
products are manufactured from low carbon steel.
Carbon steels provide the backbone of the engineering
industry and their low initial cost compared with
alternative materials contribute to their popularity.
General fittings
UliStrut® fittings and cantilever brackets comply with
BS1449 Part1:1983 or BS4360:1972 and are manufactured
from hot-rolled, pickled and oiled steel plates, strip or coil.
They have a guaranteed minimum yield stress of 170N/
mm2 as specified in BS6946:1988.

Channels and combinations Fasteners

UliStrut® metal framing channels are produced by
multiple sets of forming rolls which accurately
cold-form strip steel into the required channel configu-
ration. This process produces uniformed channel sec-
tions with dimentions and tolerances in accordance
with BS6946:1988 “Metal channel cable support sys-
tem for electrical installations”.
UliStrut® spring nuts are manufactured from mild steel
bars. The end product is a nut with two grooves, each
possessing sharp teeth, The sharp teeth provide grip by
biting into the return lips of the UliStrut® channel giving it
greater resistance to slip and pull-out.

UliStrut® metal framing channels are manufactured

from steel with a guaranteed minimum Yield Stress of
250N/mm2 and comply with BS1449 Part1:1983.

The continuous slot with returned lips on one side

of the channel enables the securing of attachments
(fitting) at any point along the length of the channel.
These combination channels are joined through
staggered welding.

 Finishes
General
Carbon steels are the most commonly used materials
fot engineering structures because they combine great
strength with good economy. Following are the various
finishes available for ULI products manufactured from
carbon steel, shown in the order of most corrosion
resistant to the least.
ULI Duplex System
“A cost effective alternative to stainless steel for cable
support systems”
ULI Duplex consists of Hot-dip galvanized mild steel which
is protected by a cross-polymer coating. The polymer
is applied in the form of a power coating through
electrostatic spray to ensure an even film build up and
good coverage on edges. ULI Duplex is a cost effective
alternative to stainless steel and has greater resistance in
corrosive environments expecially where chlorides are
present.
ULI Duplex capitalizes on the synergy between hot-dip
galvanizing and powder coating. The results are long-
term protection of capital assets under harsh marine and
chemically aggresive emvironments.
How the ULI Duplex System Functions
Mild Steel applied with Zinc galvanizing counteracts
corrosion through cathodic protection.The zinc plays the
role of sacrificial cathode which prevents the substrate
from being corroded and is thus gradually consumed.
Subsequently, an organic coating is applied over the
zinc layer in order to extend the life-span of the zinc. This
organic coating protects the zinc from attack by corrosive
chemicals, giving them a greater life expectancy to the
system. However, if the organic coating has imperfections
(eg. through mechanical damage), oxides will be
formed by the zinc to seal the cervices thus arresting the
advancement of corrosion.
The final colour and gloss requirements (eg. semimatt
black) is achieved through powder coating. Also, the use
of polyester in the specified creates maximum resistance
to degration by ultra-violet rays. The specially formulated
polyester has the required flow properties to form a
continuous layer which is impervious to moisture.
Polyester powder coatings are thermally corss-linked to
form a tough and resilient protective film with a high
degree of mar-resistance. Therefore, there is no threat
of the film losing mechanical properties on exposure to
elevated temperature.
In the event of a fire, there is no threat of running or
dripping as in the case with thermoplastic coatings. The
combined zinc and polymer film build creates the desired
protective properties without an excessively high loading
of organic substance. ULI Duplex does not promote
combustion. Therefore, on exposure to high temperature
conditions, there is no liberation of halogens.

Introduction
For further details on the features, performance and
benefits of the ULI Duplex system, a comprehensive
brochure is available upon request.
Hot-dip Galvanizing (HDG)
Hot-dip galvanizing is a process where completely
manufactured or roll-formed steel is chemically cleaned
of all contaminants and then dipped in molten zinc. This
will allow a coating consisting of iron / zinc-alloys which
are usually over-coated with a layer of relatively pure zinc.
All hot-dip galvanizing is applied in accordance with ASTM
A123:1989/BS EN ISO 1461:1999(E) which supersedes
BS729:1971. The zinc coating thickness varies from
45μm (up to 2mm thick material for bolts and nuts) to
55μm (for at least 5mm thick material).
Sheet Galvanizing (Pre-galvanized) (PG)
Sheet metal (steel strip) is hot-dip galvanized in a
continuous process which yields an even zinc coated
sheet with a bright smooth metallic finish. Materials
sich as stell is galvanized prior to the manufacturing
(roll-forming or press operations) of channels or fittings.
All “pre-galvanized” steel used is in accordance with
BS2989:1982 and usually grade Z275.
Powder Coating on Plane Steel
(Mill Finish)
UliStrut® channels, channel combinations, general
fittings, cantilever brackets and most clamps are supplied
on plain steel substrate with either a epoxy polyester or
pure polyester powder coating finish. All powder coating
meet with the highest international quality standards and
manufacturer recommended coating thickness.
Electro-galvanizing (EG)
All zinc electroplating with passivation is in accordance to
BS7371 Part1:1991 for threaded mild steel products up
to 19mm in diameter and to BS1706:1960 for other mild
steel products.
Plain (Mill Finish) Steel (PL)
UliStrut® channels and fittings are untreated and retain
an oiled surface from the rolling or pressing process.
Alternative steel grades and surface finishes are available
upon request, but may be subject to minimum order
quantities.

Introduction

Channel Loading Data - Mild Steel Loading

All load data for U-LI mild steel channels in this
catalogue are calculated in accordance with:-
BS55950 Part5:1987 - Code of Practice for Design of
Cold-formed Sections.
Beams
There are two main criteria which control the
recommended working load when used as beams.
The first being the stress-cum-stability criteria and the
other being serviceability i.e. deflection.
All UliStrut® mild steel channels have a guaranteed
minimum Yield Stress of 250Mpa. The maximum
allowable deflection according to SAB0162 Part2:1993
is span/200 which also contributes towards aesthetical
appeal.
All beam loads indicated load perpendicular to the X-X
axis.
Loading to the beam can either be applied as a Uniformly
Distributed Load (UDL) over the span of the beam or as a
concentrated point load applied at the center of the span.
The tables indicate the recommended safe working load in
kilogrammes (kg) applied as a UDL or point load.
Beam loads and corresponding deflection for all UliStrut®
channels are calculated using the factor of safety SF=1.6.
Catalogue Illustrations
The illustrations in this catalogue are not necessarily to
scale. All dimensions are in millimetres (mm).
Product Tolerance Specifications
All products in this catalogue conform to the U-LI product
tolerance specifications. Should there be a requirement
for more stringent tolerance, they are to be stipulated
during enquiry. Such requirements will have added cost
implications.

Columns Weights
There is one criteria which controls the recommended All weights are merely approximations for calculating
working laod when used as a column - the criteria be- shipping (transport) weights.
ing stress-cum-stability. The material used, slenderness
and end connection conditions determine the safe
working load for columns.

As mentioned above, all UliStrut® mild steel channels

have a guaranteed minimum Yield Stress of 250Mpa.
The slenderness of the column is related to the ratio of
the effective length to the applicable (lesser) radius of
gyration - KL/r.

As for the end connection conditions determine the

effective length factor K, U-LI strongly recommends
that the engineer perform a detailed study of the end
connection before the selection of K Factor.

 Cantilever Brackets

u-li.indd 35 8/23/12 11:29 PM

Cantilever Brackets
Material
UliStrut® Cantilever brackets are manufactured in accord-
ance with BS6946:1988 using mild steel with a guaran-
teed minimum Yield Stress of 250N/mm2 for the “Arm” and
170N/mm2 for the “Backing Plate”.
Welding
UL2542S and UL2542 Double Cantilever brackets are
produced through staggered welding similar to that of the
UliStrut® combination channels.
Finishes
The standard finish for this product is hot-dip galvanized
to ASTM A13:1989/EN ISO 1461:1999(E). The “Backing
Plate” have special drainage holes to prevent any exces-
sive zinc build-up during the galvanizing process. Other
finishes are available upon request.
27
u-li.indd 36
Dimensions
All dimensions used in this section are in millimeters
(mm) unless otherwise stated.
Performance
The safe load figures in all instances for the total
uniformly distributed load (UDL) are based on the
vertical channels being the UliStrut® UL1000 2.5mm
thick milk steel. All specified loadings in this section
apply to a safety factor of 2.
The safe working laods indicated in the tables can be
improved by adding a 45 degree raker comprising
UL3300 or UL4000 channels and two UL1546-45
Angular fittings. In the case of specific requirements,
please refer to our Technical Department.

Clamps & Trolley Assemblies

Material
UliStrut® clamps and trolley assemblies are either
manufactured from steel complying with BS1449 Part
1:1983 or BS2989:1985 Grade Z275. The ULTC02 trefoil
clamps are manufactured from aluminium.
Upon request, most UliStrut® clamps can also be obtained
in stainless steel.
Finishes
The standard finish for this product is hot-dip galvanized to
ASTM A123:1989/BS EN ISO 1461:1999(E). Other finishes
are available upon request.
Dimensions
All dimensions used in this section are in millimeters (mm)
unless otherwise stated.
Applications
UliStrut® clamps and trolley assemblies show only
one application for each item. However, as thay are
designed for the support of both mechanical and
electrical service products, more than one application
is possible.
Trefoil clamps are used to confinr, restrain and control
single core cables from movement caused by electro
magnetic forces under short circuit conditions.
Both the ULTC01 and ULTC02 trefoil clamps have
been tested by independent authorities for fault
level currents. Both clamps successfully withstood an
average three phase short time withstand current of
40kA rms with peaks of between 83 and 96kA.
Weights
All weight in this section exclude any loose fasteners
and are merely approximations for calculating
shipping (transport) weights.
