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 300x150x4x6 steel profile weighs 23.2 kg/m (15.56 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 2,952 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 4,686.422 cm⁴, Iy = 337.654 cm⁴.
