The UB 914x305x474 is a heavy universal beam reference entry for structural steel detailing and preliminary section identification. This page brings together the listed dimensional record, section information, standard context, and a CAD download reference.
Use the supplied values when checking drawings, comparing section designations, or coordinating steelwork documentation. The existing technical data is the controlling source for this page; project design should also account for the applicable material specification, loading, connection details, stability, and verification requirements.
UB 914x305x474
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 reference
The page title identifies the beam designation, while the listed Dimension record gives the associated dimensional sequence as 971x316x30x54.1. The following entries identify the corresponding depth, width, web thickness, and flange thickness in millimetres. Reading these fields together helps distinguish the overall envelope of the section from the thicknesses of its main components.
Section properties and mass
The entry also reports the root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight. The root fillet is the curved transition between the web and flange. Sectional area is useful when reviewing quantities and section-property data, while unit weight expresses the listed mass per unit length for estimating steel takeoff and handling requirements. These values should not be treated as a substitute for a complete member or connection design check.
EN 10365 reference context
The source identifies EN 10365:2017 as the reference for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties of specified hot-rolled steel sections. In practice, a standard reference helps engineers, fabricators, and detailers use consistent terminology when coordinating section schedules, fabrication information, and structural drawings. Confirm the governing project specification and the required product documentation before procurement or fabrication.
CAD and detailing workflow
The linked DWG resource can support drafting and coordination workflows where a digital representation of this universal beam is needed. Review the drawing against the page data and the project’s modeling conventions before inserting it into a production drawing. Related reference topics include universal beams, steel section properties, flange and web terminology, root fillets, EN 10365, and structural steel CAD detailing.
Frequently asked questions
What type of section is UB 914x305x474?
It is identified on this page as a Universal Beam, commonly abbreviated as UB in structural steel references.
What does the listed dimension record describe?
The page lists 971x316x30x54.1 and separately labels the corresponding values as depth, width, web thickness, and flange thickness. Use the labeled fields together when interpreting the section record.
What information is provided for section quantity and mass?
The entry provides a sectional area and a unit weight. These are reference values for coordination, quantity review, and preliminary documentation; they do not by themselves establish design resistance or allowable use.
Why is EN 10365 included?
EN 10365 is cited as the reference for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for the relevant hot-rolled steel section types. It provides a common reference framework for identifying and coordinating steel shapes.
Is the DWG file ready for every design application?
The DWG is a drafting resource. Check its geometry, units, layer conventions, and project requirements before using it in issued documentation, and verify the member information against the authoritative technical record.
