I-beam (T-beam) weight calculator and hot-rolled T-beam weight tables

The calculator allows you to calculate the weight of hot-rolled and other rolled products of the following nomenclature: I-beams with sloped flanges and with parallel flange edges of various modifications, as well as T-beams (T-beams).

• The dimensions of the I-beams are specified by GOST 26020-83;
• Tavrov - TU 14-2-685-86;
• hot-rolled I-beams with parallel flange edges obtained by longitudinal cutting in half in accordance with GOST 26020-83.

When calculating the mass of 1 meter of rolled stock, the steel density in these standards is taken to be 7.85 g/cm3 (7.85 kg/dm3 or 7850 kg/m3).

The online calculator provides the ability to use this value (by default), or indicate the density by selecting the material in the appropriate table, or enter it in the “Density of rolled material” field.

NOTE. The dimensions of the selected I-beam and T-beam are indicated in the line “DIMENSIONS OF THE SELECTED PROFILE”.

I-beams are profiled metal products, which have the letter “H” in cross-section. I-beams come in several types.

The index after the first two digits in the name of the beam determines the type of profiles along the width of the shelves:

Column beams are used to construct vertical columns.

Conventional beams (index “B”) are used for horizontal floors.

Wide-flange beams, like regular beams, are used for horizontal floors, but are characterized by increased resistance to loads.

Bridge (monorail) beams are used to construct suspended tracks.

I-beams are made from carbon (St. 3 SP/PS) and low-alloy (St. 09G2S) steels.

The length of the beam can be in the range from 4 to 12 m.

I-beams significantly increase the resistance of structures, increase the rigidity of structures, and also improve their performance characteristics.

Calculation logic

Using an online calculator, you can calculate not only the weight of the I-beam, but also its length, based on the weight of the metal structure and according to the main parameters of the section, sheet or shaped product.

We also suggest using our online calculators and calculating the weight of the angle or the mass of the channel.

To calculate the specific gravity of a beam, data on the length and size of the profile are required, and to determine the length, weight and standard size indicators are required. The advantage is that there is no need to use special reference books, tables and GOSTs, since calculations are made using the values ​​​​indicated in the calculator.

Using an online I-beam calculator allows you to:

1. To calculate the weight of a meter of I-beam, for this you should do the following manipulations:
2. in the calculator, enter the section of the required model;
3. select a stitch that corresponds to the type and method of manufacturing the metal structure;
4. enter indicators (height, length, thickness);
5. Click on the calculation button, the result will be displayed on the right side.
6. Find reference information about the metal, steel grade, area of ​​use, composition and various properties. To do this you should:
7. Enter the name of the metal brand into the search bar;
8. or select the appropriate steel type from the menu on the left side.
9. Find out GOSTs and specifications for the entire range of rolled metal:
10. enter the I-beam size number in a search engine according to GOST;
11. or select the product type in the left menu.

Using an online calculator, you can make the required calculations to determine the weight of rolled metal and find the necessary reference information in the table.

The I-beam weight table shows all the metal structure data that meets state and international standards. In addition, it contains information: name, weight of the I-beam per 1 linear meter and their quantity per ton.

When calculating the mass of an I-beam in a calculator, you should take information from the table, but if it is not there, then the calculation can be made using a geometric formula, while taking into account the characteristic features associated with the production of metal products. When using the formula, you will need to know the type of qualification of the material and its characteristics.

The length of a standard I-beam made of steel ranges from 4 to 15 meters. It can be with parallel edges of shelves, with wide-brimmed shelves, with columns and with inclined edges. The weight of rolled metal is selected from special tables of the corresponding GOST or calculated using a formula with a small error. When calculating the specific gravity of a metal in a standard manner, the following data is taken by default in the calculator:

• rolled metal density - 7850 kg/m3;
• nominal values ​​of the metal taken from the relevant GOST.

To determine the standard, you must first look to see if this designation is on the product itself. If this is not available, it is necessary to find out the method of manufacturing the profile: welded or hot-rolled. This can be determined by visual inspection. If this is a hot-rolled steel structure, you need to determine the shape of the shelves: parallel or not. After this, measurements are taken.

To determine the size of an I-beam or T-beam, you need to know the following values:

• ρ – material density,
• S – cross-sectional area of ​​the profile;
• L – length of the console or minimum distance between extreme points;
• A – height;
• a – shelf thickness;
• B – profile width;
• b – wall thickness.

In addition, it will be necessary to calculate the level of load on the structure, which can be standard and design. Standard - determined per 1 meter of product. To obtain the design load, the standard load is multiplied by the strength coefficient.

You can calculate it using:

• calculator for determining the load on a floor beam;
• or following the example of collecting loads on a beam.

An indicator such as the number of I-beams is required in case the floor beam needs reinforcement with the same design. That is, if there is one beam, you need to indicate “one”, and if there are two located next to each other, then you need to select “two”.

To calculate the mass of 1 meter, first of all, the area of ​​the product is determined, this is done according to the cross-sectional dimensions of the I-beam, after which you need to multiply the resulting value by the density of the material from which the metal product is made, and by its length.
