With a 215.8 mm depth, 206.4 mm width, 17.3 mm flange thickness and a 71.0 kg\/m linear weight, the section steps up from the standard UC60 and is specified where loading, spans or effective lengths push the lighter columns out of capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe S355J0 grade carries Charpy impact testing at 0°C and a 355 N\/mm² minimum yield, putting this column firmly in the modern UK structural specification bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSection Properties – 203 x 203 x 71 UC\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesignation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 203 x 203 x 71 UC \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLinear weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 71.0 kg\/m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e S355J0 to BS EN 10025-2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSection depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e 215.8 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSection width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 206.4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeb thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.0 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlange thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 17.3 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoot radius:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10.2 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCross-sectional area:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90.4 cm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plain mill finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut-to-size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1m to 12m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere the UC71 Earns Its Keep\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 203 UC 71 is the column engineers reach for when a domestic loft conversion or load-bearing wall removal lands a heavier point load on the column than a UC60 can comfortably absorb. Typical specifications include central posts taking the reaction of two long-span flush steel beams, columns supporting a roof ridge or trimmer beam where a UC60 was undersized in calculation, light commercial frames where bolt-group capacity matters, and mezzanine support columns under heavy storage loads. The increased flange thickness (17.3 mm versus 14.2 mm on the UC60) also improves connection capacity for plated end-plate or fin-plate connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCut Lengths to Spec\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrder any length between 1 and 12 metres. Columns are sawn square on a precision cold saw before dispatch, eliminating site cutting and the related risks of overheating end-plate welds or losing tolerance. Quote one length, several different lengths, or pair with matching universal beams from the Rackerman range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK mainland delivery in 5–10 working days on a flat-bed lorry. Offloading is the customer's responsibility — at 71.0 kg\/m, a 5m length weighs around 355 kg and requires mechanical lifting (telehandler, crane or rated forklift).
