Description
Steel Profiles is the steel section reference for structural engineers, fabricators, detailers and contractors. Look up nearly 10,000 sections from six international standards, check them to Eurocode 3 or AISC 360, and keep your take-offs in sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Every section comes with its complete geometric and structural properties, a description of each value and a cross-section drawing. Version 6.0 adds design checks, a section builder, bolt and steel grade references, bulb flats, iCloud sync and a native Mac app (release notes).

Section Properties
- Nearly 10,000 sections from six international standards (AISC 16 and 14, CISC, European, British, Australian/NZ)
- Complete geometric and structural properties with descriptions and a cross-section drawing
- Filters by area, weight, moment of inertia, section moduli and radii of gyration
- Smart search: HEA 200, HEA200 and W10x49 all find their section; a series name lists every size
- Favorites, Spotlight search and Siri
- Copy, PDF and CSV export of properties and comparisons; optional imperial fractions
- Works offline — no internet connection required
Design Checks
- EN 1993-1-1 (Eurocode 3) and AISC 360-22, with every formula and intermediate value shown
- Cross-section classification, axial force, bending, shear
- Flexural buckling and lateral-torsional buckling
- Beam-column interaction (EC3 Annex B method 2, AISC H1 with Appendix 8 amplification)
- Steel grade selected by code family, strengths by thickness
- Results are design aids for preliminary sizing and must be verified by a qualified engineer
Tools
- Equivalent Finder: the closest section in another standard, optionally from the same shape family
- Comparator: up to three sections side by side, each in its own units
- Section Builder: welded I and box sections, built-up channels, tees and angles, plated beams, with full properties
- Bolts: metric M8 to M64 and imperial 1/2" to 1 1/2", with shear, tension, bearing and slip resistance
- Steel grades: EN 10025, EN 10210/10219, ASTM, CSA, AS/NZS and JIS, with approximate equivalents
- Weight lists organized in projects and folders, exported to CSV
- Unit converter for engineering units
- iCloud sync of favorites, projects and saved sections across all your devices
