European hot-rolled sections per EN 10365 / DIN 1026 and cold-formed hollow sections per EN 10219
Standard tables for the ten most common European steel profile families: IPE and IPN I-beams, HEA, HEB and HEM wide-flange beams, UPN and UPE channels — 128 rolled sizes — plus SHS, RHS and CHS hollow sections in 50 sizes with every standard wall thickness. Every size links to a full data sheet.
Need a number the tables don’t give? The beam calculator computes deflection and stress for any span and load, and the weight calculator handles 30+ alloys and custom shapes.
What is the difference between IPE, IPN, HEA, HEB, HEM, UPN and UPE?
IPE are narrow, light I-beams — the default choice for bending; IPN is the older tapered-flange version. HEA (light), HEB (standard) and HEM (heavy) are wide-flange beams with flange width ≈ height, better for columns and biaxial loads. UPN and UPE are U-channels used for frames, rails, and paired sections — UPN with tapered, UPE with parallel flanges. At the same nominal height, weight rises in the order IPE → HEA → HEB → HEM.
Where do these values come from?
From the European product standards: EN 10365 (which replaced DIN 1025) for IPE/IPN/HEA/HEB/HEM and UPE, DIN 1026-1 for UPN, and EN 10219 for the SHS/RHS/CHS hollow sections (computed from the exact corner geometry the standard prescribes). Weights assume the standard steel density of 7,850 kg/m³; rolling tolerances mean real bars can differ a few percent.
How do I get deflection for a specific beam?
Open any profile’s data sheet for a worked example, or use the free beam deflection calculator: pick the profile type, enter dimensions, span, support type, and load, and it returns deflection, stress, and the L/360 serviceability check.
Values are entered from the governing standard’s published tables and cross-checked programmatically against its mass and section formulas before publication. Spotted an error? Write to advertising@metalabout.net — verified corrections ship within days. About
