StructureCalcsIPE 270
European I-Beam (IPE) · EN 10365 · Europe
IPE 270 is a European parallel-flange I-beam 270.0 mm deep with a 135.0 mm wide flange, weighing 36.1 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published EN 10365 values; the drawing is generated from them.
IPE sections are the European parallel-flange I-beam series — the standard flexural member of Eurocode practice.

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 IPE 270 the computed area agrees with the published value to 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 | 428,873 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Wel,y | 62,203 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,x | 483,997 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,y | 96,950 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 112.3 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 30.2 mm |
Wel is the elastic modulus and Wpl the plastic modulus, following Eurocode 3 notation.
