Family overview

What are Europe HE Sections?

Browse HE wide flange sections from the European steel section catalog. Compare metric-native dimensions and section properties, open a designation for full details, or load a section into Optimal Beam.

Designations

Understanding HE Sections designations

HE designations identify the nominal depth series and mass, with HE A, B, M and related variants represented by their published designation.
