Category: W Shapes

The W-shape steel beams, also known as wide flange beams, are standardized structural steel sections defined by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC 360-16). Designed with parallel flanges and a broad web, W-shapes provide excellent strength, stability, and load-carrying capacity, making them widely used in buildings, bridges, industrial frameworks, and general construction projects.

This category presents W-shapes in metric units, including depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, sectional area, and unit weight (kg/m) for each designation. From heavy sections used in long-span girders and high-rise structures to lighter profiles for secondary framing and machinery supports, W-shapes offer versatility and efficiency in both structural and architectural applications.

By browsing this section, engineers, architects, and builders can quickly find metric properties of W-beams such as W44, W36, W24, W21, W18, W16, W14, W12, W10, W8, W6, W5, and W4 series, ensuring accurate selection for safe and cost-effective steel design.
