UPE 200 — Dimensions, Weight & Section Properties
UPE parallel-flange channel per EN 10365 (DIN 1026-2)
UPE 200 is a UPE parallel-flange channel per EN 10365 (DIN 1026-2), 200 mm tall and 80 mm wide, weighing 22.8 kg per meter. All dimensions and section properties below are the standard published values used in structural design across Europe.
Typical uses: floor beams, columns, frames, and general steel construction. For a quick strength check, use the deflection example below or open the beam calculator with your own span and load.

Deflection example
A simply supported UPE 200 spanning 4 m with a 10 kN point load at midspan deflects 3.32 mm (E = 210 GPa, Ix = 1,910 cm⁴). The L/360 serviceability limit for this span is 11.1 mm — the profile passes this quick check.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does UPE 200 weigh?
UPE 200 weighs 22.8 kg per meter. A standard 6 m bar weighs 136.8 kg and a 12 m bar 273.6 kg. The weight follows from the cross-section area of 29 cm² multiplied by the steel density of 7,850 kg/m³.
What are the dimensions of UPE 200?
UPE 200 is 200 mm tall and 80 mm wide, with a web thickness of 6 mm, a flange thickness of 11 mm, and a root radius of 13 mm, per EN 10365 (DIN 1026-2).
What is the moment of inertia of UPE 200?
About the strong axis, Ix = 1,910 cm⁴ with a section modulus Wx = 191 cm³. About the weak axis, Iy = 187 cm⁴ and Wy = 34.5 cm³. Use the beam deflection calculator to turn these into deflection and stress for your span and load.
UPE 200 or UPE 220 — what does one size up change?
UPE 220 is about 17% heavier (26.6 vs 22.8 kg/m) but about 40% stiffer (Ix 2,680 vs 1,910 cm⁴). Going one size up is usually the cheapest way to cut deflection, because stiffness grows much faster than weight.
