Product Description
The 203 x 203 x 52KG Universal Column – BSEN10025-2 S355J0 is a high-strength structural steel section designed for reliable vertical load-bearing applications. With equal flange and web dimensions, this 203 x 203 x 52 UC provides consistent load distribution and structural balance, making it an ideal choice for commercial, industrial, and residential builds.
Manufactured from S355J0 grade steel to BS EN 10025-2, this column delivers robust performance with excellent weldability and resistance to impact, even at low temperatures. It is suitable for use as a main column in steel frames, support posts, braced bays, mezzanine floors, and load-bearing walls.
With a weight of 52kg per metre and a standard profile depth of 203mm, this universal column is regularly specified in large-scale projects requiring strong, rigid vertical members that are compatible with both steel and concrete frameworks.

FAQ
What does 203 x 203 x 52 UC mean?
This refers to the universal column?s cross-section dimensions and unit weight: 203mm depth, 203mm flange width, and 52kg per metre. The UC has near-equal flange and web dimensions for uniform structural behaviour.
What grade of steel is used in this column?
The 203 x 203 x 52KG Universal Column is made from S355J0 steel, which offers high strength and good impact resistance. The ?J0? designation means it?s tested to 27 joules at 0?C, making it suitable for UK climate and structural safety standards.
Can this universal column be used externally?
Yes, with the appropriate surface treatment. While the steel itself is strong, we recommend galvanising or applying a protective coating for external use to prevent corrosion over time.
Is this profile suitable for welding and fabrication?
Yes. S355J0 steel has excellent weldability and is commonly used in fabricated structural frames. It can be cut, drilled, and welded using standard steelwork techniques.
Can I order this 203 x 203 x 52 UC cut to length?
Absolutely. BM Steel offers in-house cutting services?just let us know your required lengths, and we?ll prepare the sections accordingly.
What structural loads can this universal column handle?
The load capacity depends on the length, bracing, and specific project design. Structural engineers typically use span/load tables or FEA models to confirm exact performance. We can supply technical data on request.
