IPE 200 — Dimensions, Weight & Section Properties
IPE I-beam per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-5)
IPE 200 is a IPE I-beam per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-5), 200 mm tall and 100 mm wide, weighing 22.4 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 IPE 200 spanning 4 m with a 10 kN point load at midspan deflects 3.27 mm (E = 210 GPa, Ix = 1,943 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 IPE 200 weigh?
IPE 200 weighs 22.4 kg per meter. A standard 6 m bar weighs 134.4 kg and a 12 m bar 268.8 kg. The weight follows from the cross-section area of 28.5 cm² multiplied by the steel density of 7,850 kg/m³.
What are the dimensions of IPE 200?
IPE 200 is 200 mm tall and 100 mm wide, with a web thickness of 5.6 mm, a flange thickness of 8.5 mm, and a root radius of 12 mm, per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-5).
What is the moment of inertia of IPE 200?
About the strong axis, Ix = 1,943 cm⁴ with a section modulus Wx = 194 cm³. About the weak axis, Iy = 142 cm⁴ and Wy = 28.5 cm³. Use the beam deflection calculator to turn these into deflection and stress for your span and load.
IPE 200 or IPE 220 — what does one size up change?
IPE 220 is about 17% heavier (26.2 vs 22.4 kg/m) but about 43% stiffer (Ix 2,772 vs 1,943 cm⁴). Going one size up is usually the cheapest way to cut deflection, because stiffness grows much faster than weight.
