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 300x150x4x12 steel profile weighs 36.9 kg/m (24.80 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 4,704 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 8,170.099 cm⁴, Iy = 675.147 cm⁴.
