The UB 762x267x173 is a Universal Beam designation used to identify a hot-rolled structural steel section by its nominal depth, width, and mass per unit length. This reference lists the source dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and root fillet information for the section.
Use the dimensional data below when reviewing steel section properties, preparing drawings, or coordinating a connection detail. The accompanying DWG resource can support drafting workflows, but final member selection and detailing should be checked against the applicable design requirements and project specifications.

How to read the UB 762x267x173 designation
In a Universal Beam designation, the first two values identify the nominal depth and width, while the final value identifies the approximate mass per metre. The detailed dimension line below provides the corresponding depth, width, web thickness, and flange thickness used to describe the section geometry.
Key section terms
- Depth: the overall vertical dimension of the section.
- Width: the overall flange width.
- Web thickness: the thickness of the central web connecting the flanges.
- Flange thickness: the thickness of each flange in the listed section profile.
- Root fillet radius: the curved transition between the web and flange. This area matters when checking clearances, fit-up, and connection detailing.
- Sectional area: the cross-sectional steel area used with other verified section properties in engineering calculations.
- Unit weight: the listed mass per unit length, useful for estimating member self-weight and material quantities.
Using the standard reference and DWG file
The source identifies EN 10365:2017 as the dimensional and sectional reference for this Universal Beam. The standard reference helps establish consistent terminology and geometry; it does not replace the project design basis, material specification, connection design, or stability checks.
The downloadable DWG is useful for CAD backgrounds, general arrangement drawings, and preliminary detailing. Before issuing a drawing, confirm the section orientation, connection clearances, fabrication requirements, and any project-specific tolerances. For related guidance, connect this page with the site’s Universal Beam, steel section properties, structural steel connections, and CAD/DWG resources references.
Frequently asked questions
What does UB 762x267x173 mean?
It is a Universal Beam designation. The designation identifies the section family, nominal depth, nominal width, and approximate mass per unit length. The detailed source data provides the exact listed geometry and properties for this reference.
What is the dimension order in the detailed specification?
The listed dimension format follows depth, width, web thickness, and flange thickness. The individual fields below the dimension line provide the same information in labeled form.
Why is the root fillet radius important?
The root fillet is the curved transition between the web and flange. It can affect connection fit-up, coping, end-plate clearances, and the usable flat area available for detailing.
Is the listed unit weight the same as sectional area?
No. Sectional area describes the amount of steel in the cross-section, while unit weight describes the listed mass per unit length. Both are useful for different engineering and estimating tasks.
Can the DWG file be used directly for fabrication?
The DWG can assist with drafting and coordination, but it should be checked against the project drawings, material requirements, connection details, and applicable fabrication controls before release.
