Parallel-flange I sections for scheduled beam lengths and prepared ends
We supply IPE steel beams for fabrication orders that call for the European parallel-flange series. The standard IPE designation fixes the narrow flange, web and section depth. A cut schedule identifies plain lengths and drawing-prepared members. Schedules retain the complete designation for any accepted IPE A or IPE O alternative.
| Section series | Standard IPE; any A, O or other variant named separately |
|---|---|
| Material selection | Material standard, grade and required toughness designation |
| Lengths | Scheduled full lengths and cut pieces |
| Prepared ends | Square, coped or detailed for the connection drawing |
| Surface condition | Bare, primed or specified coating work |
| Acceptance | Profile identity, length and ordered preparation |
These selected rows describe the standard IPE series. IPE A and IPE O are identified as separate variants.
| Section | Depth h (mm) | Flange b (mm) | Web tw (mm) | Flange tf (mm) | Nominal mass (kg/m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IPE 100 | 100 | 55 | 4.1 | 5.7 | 8.1 |
| IPE 120 | 120 | 64 | 4.4 | 6.3 | 10.4 |
| IPE 140 | 140 | 73 | 4.7 | 6.9 | 12.9 |
| IPE 160 | 160 | 82 | 5 | 7.4 | 15.8 |
| IPE 180 | 180 | 91 | 5.3 | 8 | 18.8 |
| IPE 200 | 200 | 100 | 5.6 | 8.5 | 22.4 |

Selected nominal dimensions and steel mass from the ArcelorMittal section reference. Use the complete designation for profile geometry. Our quotation identifies the material grade, supplied lengths and quantities; the project design establishes member resistance and connection requirements.
IPE inner and outer flange faces are parallel. This provides a flat connection face, while the root fillet still occupies space at the web junction.
The selected material standard and grade establish yield strength and toughness. They stay on the order with the IPE profile and supplied length.
Section dimensions and properties support the design calculation. The required span, restraint and connection conditions determine whether the scheduled IPE size is suitable.
The cut list assigns each member its finished length and reference end. Equal-length pieces with different connection details remain different part marks.
Coping removes flange or web material to fit a junction. The connection drawing specifies the cope depth, length and radius for that prepared member.
The flange width, web thickness and root radius set the physical working area. Hole gauges and wrench clearance are reviewed against the actual IPE profile before preparation.
Scheduled IPE members can be supplied in erection groups with their end details identified. The floor or roof design establishes lateral restraint and any connection stiffness requirement.
An equipment frame may need end cuts, mounting holes or local stiffeners. We price these features from the released fabrication drawing alongside the selected IPE lengths.
Depth, width and thickness checks identify the supplied IPE series. The material record and piece mark complete the receiving check for its grade and prepared condition.
Copes and holes are checked from the named datum and member mark. End squareness and cut length are also recorded for plain-cut pieces.
Coating scope identifies any areas that need masking or later treatment. Bolted and welded connection requirements are resolved before the finish is applied.
Nominal kg/m multiplied by scheduled length provides the theoretical steel quantity. Purchased lengths and cut-piece yield are shown on the commercial basis where they affect cost.
Bundle supports carry the beam bodies. Separators protect projecting features, coped ends and exposed finished faces during shipment.
Member groups and packing marks follow the agreed assembly or erection schedule. Our quotation identifies the requested sizes, preparation work and destination terms.
IPE has parallel inner flange faces; IPN has tapered inner faces and different web and flange dimensions. A proposed change is checked against both the structural design and the connection geometry.
The quote identifies the requested ASTM material grade and testing scope alongside the European IPE section designation. The accepted material line retains both requirements.
The connection drawing locates the hole from a named datum and gives its edge distance and gauge. The detail also allows for the rolled root and the required fastening-tool access.
Loading, support conditions, restraint, deflection criteria and the governing structural design establish the span. The dimensional table supplies the nominal profile geometry and mass used in that assessment.
Each distinct prepared end detail receives a distinguishable part mark. The piece list links that mark to its section, length and installation position.
The packing list groups each complete IPE designation by length and piece count. Cut and fabricated pieces retain their part marks so receiving can reconcile them against the fabrication schedule.
