Notes:


» Weight calculation based on 490 pcf density material (steel).
» The results noted with "lb" and "kg" units in the table above are actually "lbf" and "kgf".
» Beam axes based on X-axis oriented along the member's length with Y- and Z- axes as shown in the figure on the right.

» How do I use this calculator?

1. Select units of your input data [default is U.S. units].
2. Enter the beam data - height, flange width and thickness, and web thickness.
3. Click on the "calculate" button and beam section property results will be displayed in the "results" table.
4. Optional input includes box plate thickness.  Leave blank or set to zero to not include in calculations.  Set to value greater than zero to include in calculations.
