Steel I-beam Weight Calculator
I-beam in Steel: use the calculator for an instant mass estimate.
Steel I-beam: tons to meters
Use “Calculate length (meters per ton)” to solve stock length from total mass while keeping the same section model and grade density.

Standards & codes
Reference information
Commonly cited families (verify edition on your certificate):
- EN 10365
- ASTM A6/A6M
- GOST 8239
- STO ASCHM
Hot-rolled I-sections are catalogued under EN 10365 (IPE, HEA/HEB), ASTM A6/A6M (W-shapes), and GOST 8239 / STO ASCHM for domestic profiles. Mass tables in standards include fillet radii; our calculator uses a simplified symmetric outline.
Weight table
Reference: weight per 1 meter (kg/m)
Illustrative values for common sizes of I-beam at the density you selected. For procurement, always verify against mill certificates.
| Height (mm) | Flange width (mm) | Web (mm) | Flange t (mm) | kg/m | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 160 | 82 | 5 | 7.4 | 15.226 | |
| 200 | 100 | 6 | 8.5 | 21.39 | |
| 240 | 120 | 6 | 9.8 | 29.19 |
Figures follow the same geometric model as the calculator above; rounding and simplifications apply.

How to calculate weight
Core model
A = 2·bf·tf + (h − 2·tf)·tw
m/L = ρ · A (per meter of length L)Field names
Symmetric I-beam mass is the sum of two flanges plus the web, each modeled as simple rectangles, multiplied by length and density. Engineers often look for beam weight per meter and IPE mass tables; here you can override dimensions to match any catalog section.
Channel pages reuse the symmetric beam model as a practical approximation—compare with standards for final bids.
