HEA 200 weight per metre and per length
An HEA 200 weighs 42.3 kg per metre (28.4 lb/ft). A 6 m bar therefore weighs 254 kg and a 12 m bar 508 kg. The section is 190 mm deep and 200 mm wide. HEA is the light wide-flange series: its depth, here 190 mm, is less than the nominal size.

HEA 200 weight by length
| Length | Weight, kg |
|---|---|
| 1 m | 42.3 |
| 2 m | 84.6 |
| 3 m | 127 |
| 4 m | 169 |

Steel beams are often sold by the tonne: a tonne of HEA 200 is 23.6 m. The price of a metre is the price per tonne × 42.3 ÷ 1000.

The next size down, HEA 180, weighs 6.8 kg/m less; the next size up, HEA 220, 8.2 kg/m more. Same nominal size, another series: IPE 200 200 × 100 mm, 22.4 kg/m · HEB 200 200 × 200 mm, 61.3 kg/m · UPN 200 200 × 75 mm, 25.3 kg/m.
Where the numbers come from
Mass per metre and dimensions are the nominal values of the European standard sections (EN 10365), from the table of every IPE, HEA, HEB and UPN size; the rolling tolerance on mass is ±4 %. Everything else on this page is worked out from it: mass per metre times length, differences and metres per tonne. Web and flange thickness, section area and moments of inertia are not here: for design, use the maker's section table.
