What are Europe IPE Sections?

Browse IPE beams 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 IPE Sections designations

IPE designations identify the series and nominal depth; variants such as A, AA, O and V distinguish different weights and proportions.
