Deflection example
A simply supported UPE 330 spanning 7 m with a 10 kN point load at midspan deflects 3.09 mm (E = 210 GPa, Ix = 11,010 cm⁴). The L/360 serviceability limit for this span is 19.4 mm — the profile passes this quick check.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does UPE 330 weigh?
UPE 330 weighs 53.2 kg per meter. A standard 6 m bar weighs 319.2 kg and a 12 m bar 638.4 kg. The weight follows from the cross-section area of 67.8 cm² multiplied by the steel density of 7,850 kg/m³.
What are the dimensions of UPE 330?
UPE 330 is 330 mm tall and 105 mm wide, with a web thickness of 11 mm, a flange thickness of 16 mm, and a root radius of 18 mm, per EN 10365 (DIN 1026-2).
What is the moment of inertia of UPE 330?
About the strong axis, Ix = 11,010 cm⁴ with a section modulus Wx = 667 cm³. About the weak axis, Iy = 681 cm⁴ and Wy = 89.7 cm³. Use the beam deflection calculator to turn these into deflection and stress for your span and load.
UPE 330 or UPE 360 — what does one size up change?
UPE 360 is about 15% heavier (61.2 vs 53.2 kg/m) but about 35% stiffer (Ix 14,830 vs 11,010 cm⁴). Going one size up is usually the cheapest way to cut deflection, because stiffness grows much faster than weight.
