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 300x150x6x12 steel profile weighs 41.3 kg/m (27.75 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 5,256 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 8,520.509 cm⁴, Iy = 675.497 cm⁴.
