IMCA, 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 625x150x7.9x12.7 steel profile weighs 67.1 kg/m (45.10 lb/ft), has a depth of 625 mm (24.61 in), flange width 150 mm (5.91 in). Cross-sectional area: 8,546.84 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 49,907 cm⁴, Iy = 716.839 cm⁴.
