Metric reference note:
Metric values use standard conversions from the corresponding imperial W-beam properties:
1 in = 25.4 mm, 1 in² = 6.4516 cm², 1 lb/ft = 1.48816 kg/m,
1 in⁴ = 41.6231 cm⁴, and 1 in³ = 16.3871 cm³.
For professional structural design, verify critical values against the current AISC Shapes Database
and applicable project standards.
- 1 cm4 = 10-8 m = 104 mm
- 1 in4 = 4.16×105 mm4 = 41.6 cm4
- 1 cm3 = 10-6 m = 103 mm
