The UB 610x305x179 is a Universal Beam reference entry with dimensional and mass data presented in the source block below. Use the listed values when reviewing drawings, section schedules, material takeoffs, or CAD details.
This page is intended as a practical reference alongside related resources on Universal Beams, steel section terminology, section properties, and connection detailing. Confirm the applicable project specification and design assumptions before using any steel section in engineering work.
UB 610x305x179
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 610x305x179 reference
The dimension string identifies the main geometric features of the section: overall depth, flange width, web thickness, and flange thickness. The separate entries for depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius make the profile easier to check against a drawing or CAD model.
For drafting and coordination, compare the section designation with the dimensional data rather than relying on the name alone. Root fillets affect the internal profile at the web-to-flange junction and may be relevant when checking clearances, connection details, or fabrication drawings.
Section properties and weight
The source lists sectional area and unit weight as reference properties for this profile. Sectional area can support material takeoffs and section-property comparisons, while unit weight is useful for estimating steel mass from member length. These values should be kept distinct from project-specific design resistance, which requires the applicable material grade, loading, restraint, connection, and code checks.
Standard and drafting checks
- Check that the section designation in the structural drawing matches the designation in the steel schedule.
- Use the listed dimensions when coordinating clearances, end details, and connection geometry.
- Confirm units before transferring values into CAD, estimating, or calculation software.
- Refer to the cited EN 10365:2017 source and the project specification when manufacturing or procurement requirements apply.
For related research, connect this entry with internal references covering steel section dimensions, Universal Beam terminology, CAD/DWG files, and structural steel connections. The downloadable DWG associated with this page can support drafting workflows, but the drawing should still be checked against the project’s approved documentation.
FAQ
What does UB 610x305x179 mean?
It is the section designation for a Universal Beam profile. The source also provides the detailed depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, sectional area, and unit weight needed to identify and review the section more precisely.
Which standard is referenced for this beam?
The entry refers to EN 10365:2017, which is used in the source as the dimensional and sectional-property reference for the Universal Beam data shown on this page.
What is the listed weight of this section?
The source lists a unit weight of 179.1 kg/m. Use that value for reference-level mass calculations, and verify the final quantity against the approved material schedule and project requirements.
Can the DWG be used directly for structural design?
The DWG is a drafting resource for the referenced profile. It should not replace engineering checks, approved design documentation, or verification of units, dimensions, materials, and connection requirements.
