Universal Beam Designation

Universal Beam Designation

Universal Beam Designation

(OP)
Folks,
How are Universal Beams typically designated on drawings?

For example UB 356x171x67 or 356UB67?

Where can I find information regarding how it is specified?

Thanks

RE: Universal Beam Designation

slickdeals, I thought you were from the US?

Anyway the designation of UBs depend on the country

In Australia 356UB67 would be a typical format but in the uk it is usually called up more like 356x171x67UB. The width in the uk is important as I think there are a few sizes that have similar weight and height but different widths.

I am just going of my 6 year old memory here as i dont have any uk stuff with me.

CSD72,
I am based in the US. However, this is for a very interesting project in Dubai :)
