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 600x200x6x12 steel profile weighs 64.8 kg/m (43.57 lb/ft), has a depth of 600 mm (23.62 in), flange width 200 mm (7.87 in). Cross-sectional area: 8,256 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 51,050.189 cm⁴, Iy = 1,601.037 cm⁴.
