European H-Beam (HE M) · EN 10365 · Europe
HEM 140 is a European wide-flange H-section, heavy series 160.0 mm deep with a 146.0 mm wide flange, weighing 63.2 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published EN 10365 values; the drawing is generated from them.
HE M sections are the heavy H series, with thick flanges for high axial loads and stiff connections.

Derived section properties
Integrated from the section's own outline including the root and toe radii, whose arcs are integrated analytically rather than approximated by facets. For HEM 140 the computed area agrees with the published value to better than 0.01% and Ix to better than 0.01%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Wel,x | 411,421 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Wel,y | 156,760 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,x | 493,826 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,y | 240,512 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 63.9 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 37.7 mm |
Wel is the elastic modulus and Wpl the plastic modulus, following Eurocode 3 notation.
