Cintac, welded 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.
The I 250x150x5x10 steel profile weighs 32.6 kg/m (21.89 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,150 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,829.458 cm⁴, Iy = 562.74 cm⁴.
