Introduction of IPE iron beam
IPE steel beam is one of the most important and widely used structural profiles in construction. It has a cross-sectional shape resembling the letters I and H in English. The main function of the IPE steel beam is to bear and transfer the loads imposed on the structure. The cross-sectional shape of the IPE beam varies depending on its type, but it consists of two main parts called flange and web. The size and shape of these two parts determine the type of IPE steel beam. Depending on its visual appearance and mechanical properties, the IPE steel beam is used in various applications, one of which is the IPE type.
IPE steel beam stands for I Profile Eroeenne and is known as a semi-wide product produced according to European standards. It is one of the most well-known steel products available in the market, categorized as a standard product, and its visual shape resembles the letter I in English. Most commonly designed and constructed structures in Iran utilize this type of IPE steel beam.
In the introduction to the components of the IPE steel beam, the middle part of the beam, which is also considered its main part, is called the web, and the edges and sides are called the flange. The web of the IPE steel beam withstands bending loads in the structure, while the flanges bear shear forces.
In the IPE steel beam, the flanges are the same at both ends. The most prominent characteristic of the IPE steel beam is that if you look at it from both ends, the thickness of the web and flanges remains constant and uniform throughout the length of the beam. . The standard height used in the production of this steel beam ranges from 80 to 600 millimeters, while the most commonly produced sizes in Iran are between 100 and 300 millimeters.
Applications of IPE beam
Due to its high strength, moderate weight, and standard size, the IPE steel beam offers greater efficiency compared to other standard types of steel beams. In general, many architectural designs for civil and industrial structures rely on IPE steel beams due to their lightweight and high flexural resistance. They are capable of withstanding pressure, various forces imposed on the structure, and transferring the main load of the structure to the ground.
IPE steel beams are used in buildings as columns, sill beams, and floor beams. They are also employed as roof beams and in honeycomb bridges. The most commonly used IPE steel beams are sizes 14, 16, and 18, which are highly popular in the construction industry.
Physical Specifications of IPE Steel Beam
The appearance of the IPE steel beam resembles the letter I in English , and the main difference from another type of steel beam called IPN lies in the thickness of the flanges. In the IPE steel beam, as mentioned before, the flange thickness remains constant throughout the length, while in the IPN steel beam, it decreases as it moves away from the web.
The naming convention of steel beams is based on the size of the web. For example, a steel beam with a web size of 20 meters is referred to as “IPE 20.”
The dimensions and sizes of IPE steel beams depend on their type. These dimensions are:

Manufacturing method and ingredients of IPE beam
This product is made by the hot rolling method, which includes passing the steel billet through the rolling rack section; In this way, in the beginning, the height of the ingot is reduced and its length is increased. In the middle and end shelves, the main shape of the beam is created using vertical and horizontal rollers, and finally, this product is taken out linearly in the right size and standard and is cut into the required dimensions.
Important alloy elements are used in the construction of IPE beams. Carbon, silicon, chromium, manganese, nickel, titanium, copper, phosphorus, sulfur and molybdenum can be mentioned. Each of these elements is added for a specific reason and purpose. For example, carbon is added to prevent wear, hardness, elasticity, and corrosion resistance, and chromium is added to protect against moisture.
In fact, the most important element in determining the properties of a steel
Technical specifications of IPE beam
The IPE table serves as a valuable tool for civil engineers and designers of industrial and building structures to calculate the weight of IPE steel beams.
The weight is determined by the thickness of the flanges and web. Typically, the weight of IPE steel beams is calculated as branch weights and different beams in the market may have varying weights. The weight of an IPE beam is typically calculated per meter.
When choosing an IPE beam, it’s crucial to consider its size, weight, and thickness. The number associated with an IPE beam indicates its height or size in centimeters. Each branch of this product is typically 12 meters long.
