W 530 x 72,0 CISC · Weight & Dimensions

CISC, hot-rolled sections · 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: IPR 530 x 72,0 (México) · Doble T 530 x 72,0 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 524 (UK / Australia)

The W 530 x 72,0 steel profile weighs 71.9 kg/m (48.32 lb/ft), has a depth of 524 mm (20.63 in), flange width 207 mm (8.15 in). Cross-sectional area: 9,127.251 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 39,992.944 cm⁴, Iy = 1,615.158 cm⁴.
