The UB 254x102x28 is a Universal Beam reference for identifying the profile geometry and published section information used in steel detailing and engineering review. This page brings the dimensional data, terminology, standard reference, and CAD download together in one place.
Use the source values below when checking drawings, comparing section schedules, or coordinating a model with fabrication and detailing information. Design use still requires verification of the applicable material specification, loading, restraint, connections, and governing design requirements.
UB 254x102x28
Universal Beams
refer to : EN 10365:2017
a European standard that defines the dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for hot-rolled steel channels, I-beams, and H-beams used in construction and engineering. It ensures uniformity and compatibility across European structural steel products.

Understanding the UB 254x102x28 reference
The profile dimensions describe the principal parts of the beam: overall depth, flange width, web thickness, and flange thickness. Together, these dimensions define the visible cross-sectional arrangement of the Universal Beam and help drafters distinguish it from nearby sections.
The root fillet is the curved transition between the web and flange. It is important when interpreting clear distances, connection detailing, machining, and CAD geometry. The listed sectional area and unit weight are useful reference data for quantity checks and engineering calculations, but they should be used with the correct material and design assumptions.
Using the dimensional data in practice
- Drafting: Check the beam outline and connection clearances against the listed dimensions.
- Coordination: Use the section designation and dimensional description consistently across drawings, schedules, models, and fabrication information.
- Engineering review: Treat the sectional data as reference inputs, then confirm design resistance, stability, deflection, connection behavior, and project-specific requirements through the applicable design process.
- CAD workflows: Download the provided DWG when a reusable drawing reference is more efficient than recreating the profile manually.

Frequently asked questions
What does UB 254x102x28 identify?
It identifies a Universal Beam profile. The dimensional and section information on this page provides the corresponding reference data for the profile.
Which standard is referenced for this section?
The source content references EN 10365:2017, which addresses dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for hot-rolled structural sections.
What do depth, width, web thickness, and flange thickness describe?
They describe the main geometric features of the beam cross-section: its overall size, flange breadth, web thickness, and flange thickness.
Why is the root fillet radius relevant?
The root fillet is the curved transition between the web and flange. It affects how the profile is represented in drawings and how clearances or connected components are detailed near that transition.
Is a DWG available for this beam?
Yes. The page includes a DWG download for the UB 254x102x28 profile, supporting drafting and CAD coordination workflows.
Can the listed data be used directly for structural design?
The listed values are useful reference inputs, but structural design must also account for material, loading, restraint, connections, stability, serviceability, and the requirements governing the project.
