Deflection example
A simply supported HEM 200 spanning 4 m with a 10 kN point load at midspan deflects 0.6 mm (E = 210 GPa, Ix = 10,640 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 HEM 200 weigh?
HEM 200 weighs 103 kg per meter. A standard 6 m bar weighs 618 kg and a 12 m bar 1,236 kg. The weight follows from the cross-section area of 131.3 cm² multiplied by the steel density of 7,850 kg/m³.
What are the dimensions of HEM 200?
HEM 200 is 220 mm tall and 206 mm wide, with a web thickness of 15 mm, a flange thickness of 25 mm, and a root radius of 18 mm, per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-4).
What is the moment of inertia of HEM 200?
About the strong axis, Ix = 10,640 cm⁴ with a section modulus Wx = 967 cm³. About the weak axis, Iy = 3,651 cm⁴ and Wy = 354 cm³. Use the beam deflection calculator to turn these into deflection and stress for your span and load.
HEM 200 or HEM 220 — what does one size up change?
HEM 220 is about 14% heavier (117 vs 103 kg/m) but about 37% stiffer (Ix 14,600 vs 10,640 cm⁴). Going one size up is usually the cheapest way to cut deflection, because stiffness grows much faster than weight.
