The W14x370 is listed as a W beam in the SteelSTD structural steel reference collection. This page brings together its reported geometry, sectional area, unit weight, AISC reference, and a CAD download resource for checking and drafting workflows.
Use the source values as reference data when reviewing W-shape dimensions, preparing preliminary material estimates, or coordinating steel details. Design decisions still require verification of the applicable material specification, loading, stability, connections, and project requirements.
W Beam
refer to : AISC 16
the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) Specification for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 360-16), which is the 2016 edition of the AISC Specification for Structural Steel Buildings. It provides guidelines and requirements for the design, fabrication, and erection of steel structures in the United States.

Width : 419.1 mm
Web Thickness : 42.2 mm
Flange Thickness : 67.6 mm
Root Fillet Radius : 15.2 mm
Sectional Area : 703.22 cm2
Unit Weight : 552 kg/m
How to read the W14x370 reference data
The listed depth and width describe the overall envelope of the section. Web thickness and flange thickness help identify the principal plate dimensions that affect detailing, connection clearances, and section behavior. The root fillet radius is important where plates, bolts, welds, or connected components approach the rolled shape.
Sectional area is useful when reviewing steel quantity and calculations that depend on the gross area. Unit weight supports preliminary takeoffs and handling estimates. These values should be read together with the complete section-property data and the governing project requirements rather than used as a stand-alone design decision.
AISC reference and CAD workflow
The source identifies AISC 360-16 as the reference for structural steel building design, fabrication, and erection requirements. The page also provides a DWG resource for incorporating the W14x370 profile into drafting or coordination workflows. Before issuing drawings, confirm units, drawing scale, section orientation, and the project’s approved material and detailing requirements.

W14x370 frequently asked questions
What type of section is the W14x370?
The source identifies it as a W beam, commonly used as a reference designation for a wide-flange structural steel shape.
Which AISC reference is listed for this section?
The page references the American Institute of Steel Construction Specification for Structural Steel Buildings, AISC 360-16.
What information is provided for the W14x370?
The reference lists depth, width, web thickness, flange thickness, root fillet radius, sectional area, and unit weight.
Is the W14x370 automatically suitable for a structural application?
No. Section selection depends on the applicable loads, spans, limit states, material requirements, connections, stability conditions, and governing project criteria. A qualified engineer should verify the design.
Is a CAD file available?
Yes. The source includes a DWG download for the W14x370 profile. Review the file against the authoritative project information before using it for final documentation.
