UPE 220

European Parallel-Flange Channel (UPE) · EN 10365 · Europe

UPE 220 is a European parallel-flange channel 220.0 mm deep with a 85.0 mm wide flange, weighing 26.6 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published EN 10365 values; the drawing is generated from them.

UPE channels are the parallel-flange successors to UPN — easier to bolt through and slightly lighter at the same depth.

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 UPE 220 the computed area agrees with the published value to 0.10% and Ix to 0.09%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
