European I-Beam (IPE) · EN 10365 · Europe
IPE 300 is a European parallel-flange I-beam 300.0 mm deep with a 150.0 mm wide flange, weighing 42.2 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 300 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 | 557,074 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Wel,y | 80,504 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,x | 628,356 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,y | 125,219 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 124.6 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 33.5 mm |
Wel is the elastic modulus and Wpl the plastic modulus, following Eurocode 3 notation.
