IPE 140
EN — Wide Flange (I-beam)
Wide flange beams (W shapes / I-beams) are the most common structural steel profile used in building construction. They are used for beams, columns, and girders in steel-framed buildings and bridges. Designed per AISC 360, Eurocode 3, and NBR 8800.
Also known as: IPE 140 (México) · Doble T IPE 140 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 140 (UK / Australia)
The IPE 140 steel profile weighs 12.9 kg/m (8.67 lb/ft), has a depth of 140 mm (5.51 in), flange width 73 mm (2.87 in). Cross-sectional area: 1,600.5 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 525.29 cm⁴, Iy = 44.85 cm⁴.
