VS 1000x150 Tecnometal · Weight & Dimensions

Tecnometal, welded sections (Brazil) · 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.

Also known as: VS 1000x150 (México) · Doble T VS 1000x150 (Argentina / LATAM) · UB 1000 (UK / Australia)

The VS 1000x150 steel profile weighs 151.2 kg/m (101.61 lb/ft), has a depth of 1000 mm (39.37 in), flange width 400 mm (15.75 in). Cross-sectional area: 19,262.5 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 317,178.451 cm⁴, Iy = 13,340.3 cm⁴.
