UPE 300

UPE 300 is a European parallel flange channel designation used to identify a hot-rolled structural steel section. This reference page brings together the section dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, applicable standard reference, and a CAD download link.

Use the dimensional data below when reviewing drawings, comparing channel profiles, or coordinating steel detailing. For design work, confirm material grade, loading, restraint, connection details, and applicable project requirements with the responsible engineer.

UPE 300
Parallel Flange Channels
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 UPE 300 designation

The UPE designation identifies a channel with parallel flange faces, while the designation number corresponds to the nominal section depth. The listed dimension format, 300x100x9.5×15, presents the principal overall and thickness dimensions in the same order used by the source data: depth, width, web thickness, and flange thickness.

Key UPE 300 section data

  • Depth: 300 mm
  • Width: 100 mm
  • Web thickness: 9.5 mm
  • Flange thickness: 15 mm
  • Root fillet radius: 15 mm
  • Sectional area: 56.6 cm2
  • Unit weight: 44.4 kg/m

Why the section properties matter

The sectional area is used in calculations such as mass estimation and axial resistance checks, subject to the applicable material and design rules. Unit weight is useful for estimating steel quantities, transport requirements, and supporting load effects. Bending, buckling, shear, deflection, and connection checks require additional project information and should not be inferred from the profile designation alone.

Standard reference and CAD use

The source identifies EN 10365:2017 as the reference for dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties of hot-rolled channels, I-beams, and H-beams. When transferring the profile into a model, compare the downloaded DWG with the project drawing, confirm units and insertion scale, and account for the root fillet when detailing nearby plates or connections.
