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 250x200x6x20 steel profile weighs 72.7 kg/m (48.85 lb/ft), has a depth of 250 mm (9.84 in), flange width 200 mm (7.87 in). Cross-sectional area: 9,260 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 11,069.717 cm⁴, Iy = 2,667.045 cm⁴.
