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 300x250x6x20 steel profile weighs 90.8 kg/m (60.98 lb/ft), has a depth of 300 mm (11.81 in), flange width 250 mm (9.84 in). Cross-sectional area: 11,560 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 20,512.133 cm⁴, Iy = 5,208.801 cm⁴.
