UB 254x146x37 is a Universal Beam reference for identifying the section dimensions and properties associated with this European structural steel profile. The page preserves the source data for the section, including its depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight.
Use this reference when checking a steel schedule, reviewing a drawing, or comparing section information before detailed design. For related guidance, see the site’s resources on steel section terminology, section properties, and structural steel detailing.
UB 254x146x37
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.

How to read the UB 254x146x37 reference
The designation identifies a Universal Beam section, while the detailed dimension line provides the profile measurements recorded in the source data. Depth and width describe the overall envelope of the section. Web thickness refers to the vertical plate between the flanges, and flange thickness describes the thickness of each flange. The root fillet radius records the curved transition between the web and flange.
Sectional area and unit weight
Sectional area is useful when reviewing section-property data and material quantities. The listed unit weight expresses the section’s mass per metre. These values should be read together with the dimensional information and checked against the applicable project specification when preparing calculations, schedules, or fabrication documents.
Standard and CAD reference
The source identifies EN 10365:2017 as the reference for the section dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties. The downloadable DWG file can support drafting and coordination workflows. Confirm drawing units, layer conventions, and project requirements before incorporating the file into production documentation.
This reference is not a substitute for member design, connection design, stability checks, material certification, or project-specific engineering review. Use the published section data with the governing design basis and approval requirements.
Frequently asked questions
