W-beams - wide flange beams - are stout, sturdy beams with wide flanges positioned perpendicularly to the web of the material giving them their characteristic shape and distinguishing them from I-beams. Properties in imperial units of American Wide Flange Beams according ASTM A6 are indicated below.

The steel beam dimensions for the W6x20 section can be seen in the table. The depth of the section is 6.2 in. The width of the section is 6.02 in. The W6x20 section has an area of 5.87in 2. The below table outlines the W6x20 section properties including the torsion constant as well as moment of inertia and plastic modulus properties.

Wide Flange Beam Dimensions Chart for sizes, dimensions and section properties of steel wide flange beams. Wide flange beams are designated by the letter W followed by the nominal depth in inches and the weight in pounds per foot.

These conditions are also fulfilled for bolt diameters smaller than indicated. The values are calculated considering a nominal clearance in holes of 2mm for M10 to M24 bolts and of 3mm for M27 bolts.

Here you'll find all American Wide Flange Beam shapes described by the AISC Steel shapes database (V14.1). Sort the table below according to any property and select a CAD file to download using the reference links in the left-most column.
