ISMB Beam Weight — How to Calculate

ISMB beam weights are standardized values from IS 808 tables. Unlike simple shapes, I-beam weight depends on the exact profile dimensions (depth, flange width, flange thickness, web thickness, and root radius).

Total Weight = Weight per metre × Length × Quantity

Example — ISMB 300 × 12m

Given: ISMB 300, Length = 12m, Qty = 5

Step 1: Weight/m from table = 44.2 kg/m

Step 2: 44.2 × 12 × 5 = 2,652 kg (2.65 MT)

Frequently Asked Questions

How to find ISMB beam weight per metre?

ISMB beam weights are standardized per IS 808. For example, ISMB 200 weighs 25.4 kg/m, ISMB 300 weighs 44.2 kg/m. Use the chart below or enter the designation in our calculator.

What does ISMB stand for?

ISMB stands for Indian Standard Medium Weight Beam. It is the most commonly used I-beam section in India for structural applications like columns, beams, and trusses.

What is the weight of ISMB 200 per metre?

ISMB 200 weighs 25.4 kg per metre. A standard 12m length weighs approximately 304.8 kg.

What is section modulus (Zxx) and why is it important?

Section modulus (Zxx) indicates a beam's resistance to bending. Higher Zxx means the beam can carry more load. ISMB 300 has Zxx of 573.6 cm³ compared to ISMB 200's 223.5 cm³.

What is the standard length of ISMB beams in India?

Standard lengths are 10m, 11m, and 12m as per IS 2062. Most mills supply 12m lengths. Custom lengths can be ordered for large quantities.
