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 250x200x4x16 steel profile weighs 57.1 kg/m (38.35 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 200 mm (7.87 in). Cross-sectional area: 7,272 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 9,119.954 cm⁴, Iy = 2,133.45 cm⁴.
