HEA 220 — Dimensions, Weight & Section Properties
HEA wide-flange beam per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-3)
HEA 220 is a HEA wide-flange beam per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-3), 210 mm tall and 220 mm wide, weighing 50.5 kg per meter. All dimensions and section properties below are the standard published values used in structural design across Europe.
Typical uses: floor beams, columns, frames, and general steel construction. For a quick strength check, use the deflection example below or open the beam calculator with your own span and load.

Deflection example
A simply supported HEA 220 spanning 4 m with a 10 kN point load at midspan deflects 1.17 mm (E = 210 GPa, Ix = 5,410 cm⁴). The L/360 serviceability limit for this span is 11.1 mm — the profile passes this quick check.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does HEA 220 weigh?
HEA 220 weighs 50.5 kg per meter. A standard 6 m bar weighs 303 kg and a 12 m bar 606 kg. The weight follows from the cross-section area of 64.3 cm² multiplied by the steel density of 7,850 kg/m³.
What are the dimensions of HEA 220?
HEA 220 is 210 mm tall and 220 mm wide, with a web thickness of 7 mm, a flange thickness of 11 mm, and a root radius of 18 mm, per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-3).
What is the moment of inertia of HEA 220?
About the strong axis, Ix = 5,410 cm⁴ with a section modulus Wx = 515 cm³. About the weak axis, Iy = 1,955 cm⁴ and Wy = 178 cm³. Use the beam deflection calculator to turn these into deflection and stress for your span and load.
HEA 220 or HEA 240 — what does one size up change?
HEA 240 is about 19% heavier (60.3 vs 50.5 kg/m) but about 43% stiffer (Ix 7,763 vs 5,410 cm⁴). Going one size up is usually the cheapest way to cut deflection, because stiffness grows much faster than weight.
