The UB 457x152x67 is a Universal Beam reference entry for identifying the section’s published dimensions and basic mass information. This page preserves the source values and adds practical context for engineers, detailers, estimators, and CAD users working with structural steel documentation.
Use the dimensional data below when checking a drawing, comparing a section designation, or preparing a model. Design selection, resistance checks, connection detailing, and fabrication requirements still require the applicable project specifications and engineering verification.

How to read the UB 457x152x67 designation
The designation identifies a Universal Beam section within the UB range. In general, this type of designation is used to distinguish the section family, its nominal size classification, and its approximate mass class. The detailed source dimensions should take precedence over assumptions based only on the designation.
What the listed dimensions describe
The entry reports the overall depth and width together with web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius. These dimensions are useful for preliminary coordination, section identification, clearance checks, and drawing review. The root fillet is part of the rolled profile geometry and should be considered when a connection, plate, stiffener, or fitting bears against the section.
The listed sectional area and unit weight support quantity takeoffs and material comparisons. They do not, by themselves, establish bending resistance, buckling resistance, deflection performance, connection capacity, or suitability for a particular structure. Those checks depend on the complete design situation, material specification, restraints, loading, and applicable design rules.
Standard reference and CAD use
This entry refers to EN 10365:2017, which provides a common basis for the dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties of relevant hot-rolled steel sections. When documenting a member, keep the section designation, standard reference, material specification, and revision-controlled project information together.
The linked DWG resource can help with drafting and model coordination. Treat downloaded geometry as a reference and verify the drawing units, profile orientation, detailing clearances, and project requirements before using it in issued design or fabrication documents. This page can also serve as a useful starting point for related resources on Universal Beams, structural steel terminology, section properties, and steel connection detailing.

Frequently asked questions
What is the UB 457x152x67?
It is a Universal Beam section designation used to identify a hot-rolled structural steel profile. The source entry provides its detailed geometry, sectional area, and unit weight.
Which standard is referenced for this section?
The entry refers to EN 10365:2017. The standard reference helps establish a consistent basis for section dimensions, tolerances, and related sectional information.
What is the difference between the designation and the listed unit weight?
The designation is a section identification, while the unit weight is a reported mass-per-length value. The detailed source value should be used for estimating and documentation rather than assuming the designation is an exact measured mass.
Can the DWG be used directly for structural design?
The DWG is a drafting and coordination resource. It should be checked against the project’s units, orientation, tolerances, detailing requirements, and engineering documentation before issue or fabrication.
Do the listed dimensions prove that this beam is suitable for a project?
No. Section dimensions and basic mass data are only part of a structural assessment. An engineer must verify loading, restraints, material, stability, serviceability, connections, and the governing design requirements.
