IPE 220 — Dimensions, Weight & Section Properties
IPE I-beam per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-5)
IPE 220 is a IPE I-beam per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-5), 220 mm tall and 110 mm wide, weighing 26.2 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 220 spanning 4 m with a 10 kN point load at midspan deflects 2.29 mm (E = 210 GPa, Ix = 2,772 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 220 weigh?
IPE 220 weighs 26.2 kg per meter. A standard 6 m bar weighs 157.2 kg and a 12 m bar 314.4 kg. The weight follows from the cross-section area of 33.4 cm² multiplied by the steel density of 7,850 kg/m³.
What are the dimensions of IPE 220?
IPE 220 is 220 mm tall and 110 mm wide, with a web thickness of 5.9 mm, a flange thickness of 9.2 mm, and a root radius of 12 mm, per EN 10365 (DIN 1025-5).
What is the moment of inertia of IPE 220?
About the strong axis, Ix = 2,772 cm⁴ with a section modulus Wx = 252 cm³. About the weak axis, Iy = 205 cm⁴ and Wy = 37.3 cm³. Use the beam deflection calculator to turn these into deflection and stress for your span and load.
IPE 220 or IPE 240 — what does one size up change?
IPE 240 is about 17% heavier (30.7 vs 26.2 kg/m) but about 40% stiffer (Ix 3,892 vs 2,772 cm⁴). Going one size up is usually the cheapest way to cut deflection, because stiffness grows much faster than weight.
