305 x 165 x 40 kg Universal Beam S355
Rolled as a universal beam measuring 303.8 × 165.1 mm, the 305 x 165 x 40 kg Universal Beam S355 carries load in bending across a span rather than in axial compression. Deflection, not stress, is very often the limiting case for a beam of these proportions, so the serviceability check tends to decide whether this size is adequate.

At 40 kg per metre, one tonne buys roughly 25 linear metres. It is heavy enough to need mechanical handling on site, but light enough that a standard HIAB offload covers delivery in one visit. Held in S355 to BS EN 10025-2 and cut to length before it leaves the yard. Mill certificates accompany every load, and any fabrication is executed under our BS EN 1090 EXC 3 factory production control.
Typically specified for crane gantry runway support, floor and roof beams, portal-frame rafters, opening lintels in load-bearing walls and transfer beams over removed walls.
If the beam is to be encased or fire-protected, tell us at order stage so surface finish and coating are compatible with the protection system.

FAQs
305 x 165 x 40 kg Universal Beam S355,
answered.
Common questions about the 305 x 165 x 40 kg Universal Beam S355 — weight, grade, cut-to-length and worldwide delivery.
- It weighs 40 kg per linear metre, so a tonne is approximately 25 metres. A 6 m length comes to about 240 kg. Use the figure for lifting plant selection and for pricing, since structural steel is sold by weight.
