UPE 360 — Dimensions, Weight & Section Properties
UPE parallel-flange channel per EN 10365 (DIN 1026-2)
UPE 360 is a UPE parallel-flange channel per EN 10365 (DIN 1026-2), 360 mm tall and 110 mm wide, weighing 61.2 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 360 spanning 7 m with a 10 kN point load at midspan deflects 2.29 mm (E = 210 GPa, Ix = 14,830 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 360 weigh?
UPE 360 weighs 61.2 kg per meter. A standard 6 m bar weighs 367.2 kg and a 12 m bar 734.4 kg. The weight follows from the cross-section area of 77.9 cm² multiplied by the steel density of 7,850 kg/m³.
What are the dimensions of UPE 360?
UPE 360 is 360 mm tall and 110 mm wide, with a web thickness of 12 mm, a flange thickness of 17 mm, and a root radius of 18 mm, per EN 10365 (DIN 1026-2).
What is the moment of inertia of UPE 360?
About the strong axis, Ix = 14,830 cm⁴ with a section modulus Wx = 824 cm³. About the weak axis, Iy = 844 cm⁴ and Wy = 105 cm³. Use the beam deflection calculator to turn these into deflection and stress for your span and load.
UPE 360 or UPE 400 — what does one size up change?
UPE 400 is about 18% heavier (72.2 vs 61.2 kg/m) but about 41% stiffer (Ix 20,980 vs 14,830 cm⁴). Going one size up is usually the cheapest way to cut deflection, because stiffness grows much faster than weight.
