I’m looking for a link to find dimensions for common wide flange I-beams used in residential construction.
For example, print says w12x53, I know it’s 12″ high and 53 pounds per foot(give or take) but, how wide is it?
Is there a resource, besides calling my steel supplier, I can quickly reference?
Thanks
mike

Mjesse,
Are you looking for someone to do your (easily done) homework for you? One minute on the internet would yield you the answer.
Since I'm a nice guy...........................

They have good tables at EFUNDA (link below). Used to be free to use the tables. Don't know about anymore.

The 12 is approximate meaning it's EITHER 12" or close. That's why you either need good references or make the call to the right people.
W12x53 is 12.06 high x 9.995 wide.
The '12' only is approximate.
I tried a Google search for "wide flange steel" and got a few different good hits, but usually I just go to the bookshelf and grab my steel specification charts.
Could you give me more info on your charts?
I wants some too
Thanksmike
Machinery's Handbook has structural steel shapes.
Here is what I was looking for!!
