VS 200x19

BR — 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.

The VS 200x19 steel profile weighs 18.8 kg/m (12.63 lb/ft), has a depth of 200 mm (7.87 in), flange width 120 mm (4.72 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,402.2 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 1,679.25 cm⁴, Iy = 181.61 cm⁴.
