StructureCalcsIPN 600
European Standard I-Beam (IPN) · EN 10365 · Europe
IPN 600 is a European taper-flange I-beam 600.0 mm deep with a 215.0 mm wide flange, weighing 199.0 kg/m. The dimensions below are the published EN 10365 values; the drawing is generated from them.
IPN beams are the classic European taper-flange I — a legacy series still rolled, with the 14% flange taper reproduced in the drawing.

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 IPN 600 the computed area agrees with the published value to 1.08% and Ix to 1.35%. Where a value is also published, the published one above is the one to quote.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Elastic modulus, Wel,x | 4,695,871 mm³ |
| Elastic modulus, Wel,y | 446,914 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,x | 5,542,849 mm³ |
| Plastic modulus, Wpl,y | 762,417 mm³ |
| Radius of gyration, rx | 234.2 mm |
| Radius of gyration, ry | 43.3 mm |
Wel is the elastic modulus and Wpl the plastic modulus, following Eurocode 3 notation.
