How much does an HEA 300 weigh?

88.33 kg per metre, from an area of 112.5 cm².

Why is an HEA 300 only 290 mm high?

The A series is the light series: its flanges and web are thinner than in HEB, so the section is lower than its nominal size while keeping the same flange width.

HEA wide flange beam sizes with their own page

HEA beam dimensions and properties

The section dimensions come from steel mill and stockholder catalogues. Area, mass per metre, second moments of area, section moduli and radii of gyration are calculated on the same section as the CAD file, root radii included, and checked against the catalogues to within 1 %. The STEP file is a 1,000 mm length; the DXF and DWG hold the section at 1:1.

HEA beam size: height and nominal number

An HEA section is a little lower than its number: an HEA 300 is 290 mm high and 300 mm wide, with an 8.5 mm web and 14 mm flanges, and weighs 88.33 kg/m. Up to size 300 the flange width equals the nominal size; above it the flanges stay 300 mm wide. The heavier series of the same nominal size is HEB.

HEA beams: common questions

How much does an HEA 300 weigh?: 88.33 kg per metre, from an area of 112.5 cm².
Why is an HEA 300 only 290 mm high?: The A series is the light series: its flanges and web are thinner than in HEB, so the section is lower than its nominal size while keeping the same flange width.
