HEM (HE M) sections are the heavy series of the European wide flange beams (Euronorm 53-62): thick flanges and web, the greatest mass of the three series, used where a compact section must carry large loads, typically columns in multi-storey buildings.
The table lists the dimensions, mass and area of every size. Tap a designation for its drawing and detailed dimensions. All values are in millimetres, kilograms per metre and square centimetres.
