ISMB 225 Weight, Dimensions and IS 808 Properties

Fabricator measuring ISMB 225 steel beam showing 225 mm depth and 110 mm flange width
ISMB 225 — 225 × 110 mm I-section, 31.2 kg/m, manufactured to IS 808:1989. The 110 mm flange provides improved connection geometry for bolted end-plate joints.

ISMB 225 weighs 31.2 kg per metre as per IS 808:1989.

  • One 6-metre length weighs 187.2 kg · one 12-metre length weighs 374.4 kg
  • Overall depth 225 mm · flange width 110 mm · web thickness 6.5 mm
  • Cross-sectional area 3,980 mm² · Ixx = 3,441.8 cm⁴

ISMB 225 bridges the light and medium beam ranges in IS 808:1989. Its 110 mm flange and 225 mm depth make it a practical choice for primary beams in mezzanine floors, industrial platform girders, and roof structures requiring spans of 4–6 m.

Common Applications of ISMB 225

ISMB 225 is commonly specified for primary mezzanine beams, heavy-duty stair stringers, and industrial platform framing where ISMB 200 is undersized. The wider 110 mm flange improves connection geometry for both bolted and welded end plates. SAIL and Tata Steel supply ISMB 225 in IS 2062 E250 grade.

Worked Example

A fabricator in Coimbatore needs 16 primary beams of ISMB 225 each 5.0 m long for a warehouse mezzanine. Total length = 16 × 5.0 = 80 m. Weight = 80 × 31.2 = 2,496 kg (2.496 tonnes). At ₹58,000 per tonne (May 2026), estimated material cost is approximately ₹1,44,770.
