The standard method for specifying the dimensions of a American Wide Flange Beam is for example W 6 x 25,
which is 6 inches deep with a weight of 25 lb/ft.
I-shaped cross-section beams:
Britain : Universal Beams (UB) and Universal Columns (UC)
Europe : IPE. HE. HL. HD and other sections
US : Wide Flange (WF) and H sections
