IPE steel beams Technical and buying guide
Parallel-flange IPE beams for structural and fabrication enquiries. Review the exact section dimensions, steel grade and length.
I-beams have a central web and two flanges; specify the complete series and designation for structural orders.
Specification and dimensions
I-beams: exact series and designation such as IPE, plus nominal height and required length. Where ordering by a drawing, provide flange width, web thickness and flange thickness. Do not treat IPE, IPN or a modified beam as equivalent solely by nominal height.
Grades and applicable standards
Dimensions: EN 10365; tolerances on shape and dimensions: EN 10034. Specify the full material grade separately, for example S235JR, S275JR or S355J2 to EN 10025-2, together with the required inspection documents. HEA and HEB of the same nominal size have different actual dimensions, thicknesses and mass. The designation number is not always the actual section height. IPE, HEA and HEB are separate series; confirm the section table, required length, quantity and delivery destination with EMRA Steel.
Applications and project requirements
I-beams are used in structural framing and supporting members. Section selection must follow the design, including span, loads, connections and lateral restraint.
Inspection and traceability
Agree heat or batch identification, chemical analysis, applicable tests and dimensional checks before ordering. Specify inspection documents, acceptance criteria and any independent inspection requirements.
