ISMB 100 Weight, Dimensions and IS 808 Properties

ISMB 100 steel beam showing 100 mm depth and 75 mm flange width in fabrication workshop
ISMB 100 — 100 × 75 mm I-section, 10.6 kg/m, manufactured to IS 808:1989. The compact profile is suited to lintels and light secondary beams.

ISMB 100 weighs 10.6 kg per metre as per IS 808:1989.

  • One 6-metre length weighs 63.6 kg · one 12-metre length weighs 127.2 kg
  • Overall depth 100 mm · flange width 75 mm · web thickness 4.0 mm
  • Cross-sectional area 1,350 mm² · Ixx = 257.5 cm⁴

ISMB 100 is the smallest standard medium-weight beam in IS 808:1989. At 10.6 kg/m it is commonly used for light secondary beams, lintels, stair stringers, and machinery frames where a compact I-section with defined sectional properties is needed.

Common Applications of ISMB 100

ISMB 100 is widely used in light structural work — lintels over door and window openings, secondary floor beams in mezzanine structures, stair stringers, and support frames for mechanical equipment. Its compact 100 × 75 mm profile makes it practical where depth is restricted. Tata Steel and SAIL both roll ISMB 100 to IS 808:1989 in IS 2062 E250 grade as standard stock.

Worked Example

A fabricator in Surat needs 18 lintels of ISMB 100, each 1.8 m long, for a ground-floor commercial fit-out. Total length = 18 × 1.8 = 32.4 m. Weight = 32.4 × 10.6 = 343.4 kg (0.343 tonnes). At a market rate of ₹58,000 per tonne (Surat, May 2026), the material cost is approximately ₹19,920 before cutting and transport.
