How to Use

1. Select Beam Type: Choose from IPE, IPN, HEA, HEB, or HEM.
2. Pick Profile: Select your specific beam size (e.g., "HEA 300").
3. Enter Length: Input beam length in mm or inches.
4. Set Quantity: Default is 1 (adjust for multiple beams).
5. Calculate: Instantly get total weight in kg or lbs.

Calculation Principle

The calculator uses the formula:
Weight = (Weight per Meter × Length × Quantity)

Where:

• Weight per Meter is pre-defined for each profile in our database (based on steel density of 7850 kg/m³).
• For imperial units, weights are converted to lbs/ft (1 kg/m = 0.671969 lbs/ft).
• Length is converted to meters (for metric) or feet (for imperial) automatically.

FAQ

Q: Are the beam weights accurate for all steel grades?
A: Yes, weights are based on standard steel density (7850 kg/m³). Minor variations may occur for high-alloy steels.

Q: Can I calculate the weight for non-standard lengths?
A: Absolutely! Enter any length value – the tool calculates fractional weights precisely.

Q: Why don’t I see American beam types (e.g., W-beams)?
A: This calculator focuses on European standard beams. We may add US standards in future updates.

Q: How are HEA/HEB/HEM beams different?
A: HEA (light), HEB (standard), and HEM (heavy) vary in flange/web thickness. Our database reflects these differences.

Q: Is this tool free for commercial use?
A: Yes, 100% free with no hidden limits.

Q: Can I save my calculations?
A: Currently no, but you can bookmark the page with your inputs.
