I-beam edge radii

[just_some_shmuck]

Is there a standard governing the edge radii for wide-flange beams?

 

[Sibroe]

Not that I'm aware of. What is your specific application where the edge radii matter?

Sibroe, the broader topic I am looking at is lifting/rigging and protecting synthetic slings from "sharp" corners. But I came here specifically for standards about corner radii. I checked Google, ASTM A36, A572, and A6 and found nothing about I-beam outer corner radii. So I thought I would ask here before declaring "there are no standards".

I've never seen a wide flange with a radius on the tips of the flanges. The old standard ("S") shapes have it on the side facing in toward the web, but the side of the flange that would matter for rigging is still a sharp corner

I would simply consider chamfering / rounding the sharp corners with grinding.
