I recently picked up a couple of steel beams - I asked for 102 x 178 universal beams.
After we put them in, I measured them and they were actually 92 x 182.
I can't find any reference to this size in any published UK tables, so I wonder were did they come from?

The message from "dg" contains these words:
It's not even an Imperial size. Odd.

I have some European steel tables which list this size.
h=182 b=92 t(web)=6 T(flange)=9 r(root radius)=9 Weight=21.3Kg/m
The designation is IPE and references Luxembourg, Germany and France.

As a general comment, steel beam sizes are nominal (this is a 7x4 in old money) and the actual size of the section may be a bit different. Where the same section comes in more than one rolling weight, e.g. 203x133x25 and 203x133x30 the widths and heights will be different; the distance between the inner faces of the flanges stays the same
As said, this is a Euronorm IPE180O section, about 10% heavier and stronger than what you asked for, so nothing to worry about.
Perhaps the next thing is Indian Standard Sections!
I can take the accro's out now then!

I would be inclined to measure and note the actual web and flange thicknesses for future ref. just in case. But maybe that's just obsessive!
