What is European Standard HEA (IPBL) Beam ?
HEA (IPBL) beams are hot-rolled steel beams that are standardized and produced according to European standards. They are also known as H-beams or I-beams due to their distinctive shapes. The letters “HEA” stand for high-strength, hot-rolled steel, and the letters “IPBL” stand for the beams’ dimensions: “IP” stands for “inverted pallet,” “B” stands for “beam,” and “L” stands for “long leg.”
HEA (IPBL) beams are typically used in construction and civil engineering, as they are able to support heavy loads and distribute weight evenly across a structure. They are also used in the manufacturing of machinery and equipment, and in the transportation industry.
The dimensions of HEA (IPBL) beams are specified according to the European standard EN 10025-2. The dimensions are given in millimeters, and the beam’s width and height are indicated by the letter “H.” The thickness of the flange and the web is indicated by the letter “S.” The dimensions of the beams are specified by the height and width of the beam, as well as the thickness of the flange and the web. The weight of the beam is also specified in the standard.
There are various sizes of HEA (IPBL) beams available, ranging from HEA 100 to HEA 1000. The larger the beam, the greater its load-bearing capacity will be. The load-bearing capacity of an HEA (IPBL) beam is also influenced by its flange width and thickness, and its web thickness.

Type of European Profiles Beam
- IPE beams: Also known as “I-beams” or “I-sections,” these beams are shaped like the letter “I” and are commonly used in construction to support the weight and load-bearing requirements of a structure.
- HEA beams: These beams are also known as “wide flange beams” and are similar in shape to IPE beams, but have wider flanges and a smaller web.
- HEM beams: HEM beams are similar to HEA beams, but have an even wider flange and a smaller web.
- UPN beams: UPN beams, also known as “channels,” are C-shaped beams that are used in construction for their strong lateral stability.
- UNP beams: UNP beams, also known as “double channels,” are similar to UPN beams but have an additional flange on the back side.
- UPE beams: UPE beams are similar in shape to UPN beams, but have a larger flange and a smaller web.
