How much does an HEB 300 weigh?

117.0 kg per metre, from an area of 149.1 cm².

Is HEB stronger than HEA?

At the same nominal size, yes: HEB has thicker plates, a larger area and higher section properties. It is also heavier, so the choice depends on the load and the weight you can accept.

HEB wide flange beam sizes with their own page

HEB 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 vs HEB beam

At the same nominal size, HEB has the same flange width as HEA but thicker flanges and web, and it is as high as its number. An HEB 300 is 300 × 300 mm, with an 11 mm web and 19 mm flanges, and weighs 117.0 kg/m, against 88.33 kg/m for an HEA 300. Its second moment of area Iy is 25,170 cm⁴ against 18,260 cm⁴.

HEB beams: common questions
