The depth of W14x22 beams may vary by 1/8” above and below the nominal value.
The flange width may vary by 1/4” above nominal and 3/16” below nominal. Flanges may be out of square by as much as 5/16”.
The distance from the center of the web to the center of the profile may be no greater than 3/16”.
The radii of fillets and toes for W-beams are not specified. Instead, these dimensions are left up to individual manufacturers.
W14x22 Weight
Wide flange beams are designated by their depth x weight. The W14x22 designation indicates that the beam weighs 22 pounds per foot. A 10-foot section of W14x22 would weigh 220 pounds and a 50-foot section of W14x22 would weigh 1,100 pounds.
W14x22 Conversion to Metric
The metric equivalent to W14x22 is W360x32.9. This metric beam has the following specifications:
| Depth | 349 mm |
| Width | 127 mm |
| Area | 4190 mm2 |
| Weight | 32.9 kg/m |
| Web Thickness | 5.8 mm |
| Flange Thickness | 8.5 mm |
W14x22 Section Properties
W14x22 Area Moment of Inertia
The area moment of inertia (or second moment area) for a W14x22 beam about the x-axis (perpendicular to the flange) can be calculated from the equation below:
The area moment of inertia of the W14x22 profile about the x-axis is approximately 193 in4.
W14x22 Section Modulus
The elastic section modulus for a W14x22 beam about the X-axis is calculated from the following equation:
The elastic section modulus for the W14x22 profile about the X-axis is approximately 28 in3.
W14x22 Properties
The properties of W14x22 beams are specified by ASTM A6 “Standard Specifications for Rolled Structural Steel Bars, Plates, Shapes and Sheet Piling”
