Universal Beam · BS 4-1 · United Kingdom
914x419x343 UB is a British universal beam 911.8 mm deep with a 418.5 mm wide flange, weighing 343.3 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published BS 4-1 values; the drawing is generated from them.
British Universal Beams to BS 4-1 are the UK’s standard I-beam — the same designation style as the Australian UB, but a distinct dimension table.

Derived section properties
Integrated from the section's own outline including the root and toe radii, whose arcs are integrated analytically rather than approximated by facets. For 914x419x343 UB the computed area agrees with the published value to better than 0.01% and Ix to 0.08%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Zx | 13,715,413 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Zy | 1,871,193 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sx | 15,465,080 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Sy | 2,889,062 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 378.3 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 94.7 mm |
Z is the elastic modulus and S the plastic modulus, following British practice (BS 5950 notation). Under AISC 360 the letters are reversed.
