European H-Beam (HE M) · EN 10365 · Europe
HEM 220 is a European wide-flange H-section, heavy series 240.0 mm deep with a 226.0 mm wide flange, weighing 117.3 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 220 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 | 1,217,069 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Wel,y | 443,544 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,x | 1,419,447 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,y | 678,553 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 98.9 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 57.9 mm |
Wel is the elastic modulus and Wpl the plastic modulus, following Eurocode 3 notation.
