HEB 200 weight per metre and per length
An HEB 200 weighs 61.3 kg per metre (41.2 lb/ft). A 6 m bar therefore weighs 368 kg and a 12 m bar 736 kg. The section is 200 mm deep and 200 mm wide. HEB is the wide-flange series that is as wide as it is tall up to size 300.

The next size down, HEB 180, weighs 10.1 kg/m less; the next size up, HEB 220, 10.2 kg/m more. Same nominal size, another series: IPE 200 200 × 100 mm, 22.4 kg/m · HEA 200 190 × 200 mm, 42.3 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.
