HEB220 Metirc Steel Shape

HEB220 Metirc Steel Shape

HEB220 Metirc Steel Shape

(OP)
I have a structure designed by a German fellow. It uses several wideflange like shapes. One such member is called out as HEB220. I have found the various metric dimensions and such for the shape. It is pretty close to a W8x48, but not exactly. I understand some rounding, but some are far enough off I am not sure it is the same shape. Can anyone tell me if there is an equivalent US shape to the HEB220?

Thanks

RE: HEB220 Metirc Steel Shape

I don't think you are going to find and exact match. You are somewhere close to a W8x48, as you state, but width, depth and tf are a bit off.

I regularly use this free to check US, CA, EU, UK, AS/NZ steel sections sizes:

Not sure about grades of EU steel sections.

Good luck.

Thanks Ingenuity. I am becoming more convinced there is an app for anything
