European H-Beam (HE M) · EN 10365 · Europe
HEM 160 is a European wide-flange H-section, heavy series 180.0 mm deep with a 166.0 mm wide flange, weighing 76.2 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 160 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 | 566,474 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Wel,y | 211,900 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,x | 674,565 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,y | 325,459 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 72.5 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 42.6 mm |
Wel is the elastic modulus and Wpl the plastic modulus, following Eurocode 3 notation.
