The J 152x127x37 is a hot-rolled joist section with tapered flanges. This reference page brings together its published dimensions, sectional area, unit weight, and related geometric details for engineers, detailers, fabricators, and CAD users.
Use the source values below when checking drawings, comparing steel sections, or preparing a preliminary section reference. For design work, confirm material, loading, restraint, connection behavior, and applicable project requirements with the responsible engineer.
J 152x127x37
Joists With Taper Flange Sections
refer to : EN 10365:2017
a European standard that defines the dimensions, tolerances, and sectional properties for hot-rolled steel channels, I-beams, and H-beams used in construction and engineering. It ensures uniformity and compatibility across European structural steel products.

How to read the J 152x127x37 reference
The designation identifies a specific joist section, while the dimension line describes its overall depth and width together with the web and flange thicknesses. These dimensions help users recognize the section in drawings and distinguish it from other joist or tapered-flange profiles.
Geometric details
The listed root fillet radius, toe radius, and flange slope describe transitions and inclination within the rolled shape. They are useful when reviewing clearances, detailing nearby plates or connections, and interpreting the section profile in CAD. Actual detailing should account for the rolled geometry rather than treating the section as a collection of sharp rectangular elements.
Section properties and weight
Sectional area supports material and mass calculations, while unit weight is useful for estimating handling, shipping, and framing loads. These values should be used with the project’s specified material and design method; they do not by themselves establish bending, shear, buckling, or connection resistance.
Standard and CAD reference
The page cites EN 10365:2017, which provides a common dimensional and sectional reference for hot-rolled steel sections. The linked DWG resource can support drafting and layout work, but users should verify the downloaded geometry against the authoritative values on this page before issuing fabrication or construction documents.
For broader comparison, connect this reference with the site’s resources on structural steel shapes, section properties, and steel connections and detailing.
