The UB 610x178x82 is a Universal Beam reference entry for checking section dimensions, material takeoff information, and related drafting data. This page brings together the profile designation, dimensional breakdown, sectional information, and a downloadable DWG resource.
Use the listed values as the page’s authoritative reference data. For design work, confirm the applicable project specification, steel grade, loading assumptions, connection details, and governing design requirements with the responsible engineer.
UB 610x178x82
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 this UB designation
The designation identifies a Universal Beam profile using the naming convention provided in the reference data. The accompanying dimension string separates the overall depth, flange width, web thickness, and flange thickness, while the individual fields provide a clearer way to review each characteristic.
Reference information for drafting and design checks
The page includes the profile’s root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. These properties support common reference tasks such as comparing steel sections, preparing preliminary quantity information, and checking whether a selected profile matches a drawing or specification. They do not replace structural analysis or verification of resistance, stability, deflection, fabrication, or connection behavior.
Standard reference and CAD use
The source identifies EN 10365:2017 as the dimensional and sectional-property reference for this European structural steel shape. The downloadable DWG can support drafting workflows, but users should check units, layer conventions, scale, and project-specific CAD standards before incorporating the file into production documents.

Frequently asked questions
What does UB mean?
UB means Universal Beam, a family of hot-rolled structural steel sections identified by a standardized designation and dimensional information.
What information is provided for the UB 610x178x82?
The reference lists the profile designation, standard reference, dimension string, individual depth and width values, web and flange thicknesses, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight.
Can the DWG be used directly for structural design?
The DWG is a drafting reference and should be checked against the project’s drawing standards and the authoritative section data. Structural design still requires engineering verification of loads, material specification, stability, serviceability, and connections.
