The UB 610x305x238 is a Universal Beam reference entry for structural steel detailing, section identification, and preliminary engineering research. The data below provides the listed overall dimensions, thicknesses, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight.
Use this page alongside related resources on Universal Beams, section properties, steel connections, and CAD/DWG detailing. The tabulated source data is the controlling reference for this entry; design applications require verification against the applicable project specification and engineering checks.

Understanding the UB 610x305x238 designation
The designation identifies a Universal Beam size within a standardized European structural steel range. The nominal designation should not be treated as a substitute for the actual dimensions listed in the reference data. For detailing, fabrication, and coordination, use the stated depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, and root fillet radius.
What the listed dimensions describe
The beam depth and width describe the overall envelope of the section. Web and flange thicknesses help distinguish the proportions of the rolled profile, while the root fillet radius describes the curved transition between the web and flange. That transition is important when preparing connection details, clearances, coping information, and fabrication drawings.
Sectional area and unit weight
The listed sectional area is a geometric property of the steel profile. The unit weight is useful for material takeoffs, handling information, and estimating self-weight inputs, but it does not by itself establish resistance, span capability, or suitability for a particular structural design.
Standard and CAD reference
This entry refers to EN 10365:2017, which provides a consistent framework for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for hot-rolled structural steel sections. The attached DWG resource can support drafting and coordination workflows. Confirm the drawing units, layer conventions, profile orientation, and project requirements before incorporating the file into production documentation.
Frequently asked questions
What type of section is UB 610x305x238?
It is a Universal Beam, a rolled I-shaped structural steel section with flanges connected by a web.
Why do the listed dimensions differ from the nominal designation?
Universal Beam designations identify a standardized section series, while the reference data reports the corresponding actual profile dimensions. Engineering drawings and fabrication details should use the listed dimensions rather than relying only on the designation.
What does the unit weight represent?
The unit weight expresses the listed mass of the beam per unit length. It can support material quantity estimates and self-weight calculations, subject to project-specific verification.
What is the root fillet radius used for?
The root fillet radius identifies the curved region where the web and flange meet. It should be considered when checking clearances, connection plates, copes, weld access, and other detailed geometry.
Can the DWG file be used directly for structural design?
The DWG is a drafting reference, not a design approval. Check its geometry and drawing settings against the source data and project requirements before using it in engineering or fabrication documents.
Does this page provide the beam’s load capacity?
No. Load capacity depends on factors such as material specification, restraint, span, loading, connection behavior, buckling, and applicable design rules. A qualified engineer must complete those checks for the intended application.
