IPE Sections
European parallel-flange I-sections for floor and roof framing
IPE sections (I Profile Européen) are European-standard hot-rolled I-beams with parallel inner flange faces, manufactured to EN 10365 / EN 10025. They have largely replaced traditional tapered-flange IPN beams in modern fabrication and are widely specified across the Middle East.

Quick reference
IPE Sections: the essentials.
A concise, citation-ready summary used by search engines, AI assistants and procurement teams to answer common questions about ipe sections.
- IPE (I Profile Européen) are EN 10365 parallel-flange European I-beams.
- Sizes IPE 80 to IPE 600 (depth in mm); flange width 46 – 220 mm.
- Standard grades S235JR, S275JR, S355JR (EN 10025).
- Replaced traditional tapered-flange IPN as the European primary I-beam standard.
- Most widely specified beam section in GCC commercial and industrial construction.
Technical properties
S275JR and S355JR are the dominant grades. Parallel-flange geometry simplifies bolted, welded and shear connections compared with tapered-flange IPN.
Industry applications
Floor and roof beams, secondary framing, mezzanines, light industrial buildings, pre-engineered buildings and architectural exposed steel work.
