IPE beam sizes with their own page
How the IPE section properties are calculated
Area, mass per metre, moments of inertia, elastic section moduli and radii of gyration are calculated on the exact section of the model, with its root radii, and a steel density of 7,850 kg/m³. Before publishing, every value is compared with the steel mill catalogues. The STEP file is 1,000 mm long and the DXF and DWG hold the section at 1:1.
IPE beam dimensions: what the number means
The number is the height h in millimetres, and the flanges are parallel, with a constant thickness tf. An IPE 300 is 300 mm high and 150 mm wide, with a 7.1 mm web and 10.7 mm flanges, and weighs 42.24 kg/m. IPE is the narrow, light section of the European range; for columns and wide beams, see HEA and HEB.
IPE beams: common questions
- What does IPE stand for?
- It is the European designation of the parallel flange I-beam, an I-section with flanges of constant thickness. The number after it is the height in millimetres.
- How much does an IPE 300 weigh?
- 42.24 kg per metre, from an area of 53.81 cm².
