Universal columns are similar in appearance to universal beams, but typically have a wider flange or fillet. 
Universal columns are structural steel columns used in a vertical position. Their I-shaped cross-section is similar to that of universal beams, but a steel column flange is usually wider than that of a beam.
 There are several elements that combine to define universal column sizes. This includes the depth and width of the steel section, the thickness of its web and flanges, the root radius and the depth between the fillets.
 For full details of all the universal column sizes we supply, please consult our universal column table, which specifies characteristics like plastic modulus, elastic modulus, torsional index and more.
