4" round hole in 10" steel wshape Potential Problems
(OP)
What checks must I do to see if a wideflange beam can have a hole in it?
I do the following checks: Am I on the right track?
1-Check to see if how much section modulus was removed by the hole
2-Check to see how much I was removed
3-Check to see if shear is ok for section with hole.

This has all the checks and examples as well.
You are on the right track.

The procedure is a little complicated today so I suggest that you get a copy of AISC Steel Design Guide 2, "Steel and Composite Beams with Web Openings".
