European I-Beam (IPE) · EN 10365 · Europe
IPE O 240 is a European parallel-flange I-beam 242.0 mm deep with a 122.0 mm wide flange, weighing 34.3 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 O 240 the computed area agrees with the published value to better than 0.01% and Ix to 0.01%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Wel,x | 361,096 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Wel,y | 53,859 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,x | 410,274 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,y | 84,397 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 100.0 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 27.4 mm |
Wel is the elastic modulus and Wpl the plastic modulus, following Eurocode 3 notation.
