Family overview

What are CISC W-Shapes?

Browse CISC Wide flange from Structural Section Tables SST12.1. Compare metric-native dimensions and section properties, open a designation for full details, or load a section into Optimal Beam.

Designations

Understanding W-Shapes designations

A designation such as W310×39 identifies a wide-flange series near 310 mm nominal depth with a mass of 39 kg/m. Use the tabulated dimensions for actual geometry.
