IPE 600
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 600 (México) · Doble T IPE 600 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 600 (UK / Australia)
The IPE 600 steel profile weighs 122.0 kg/m (81.98 lb/ft), has a depth of 600 mm (23.62 in), flange width 220 mm (8.66 in). Cross-sectional area: 15,104 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 88,325.83 cm⁴, Iy = 3,379.96 cm⁴.
