400x95x3mm Steel Sigma Plus Profile, Mill Finish
The 400x95x3mm steel Sigma Plus profile combines an indented web with double edge lips: 400 mm web, 95 mm flanges and 3 mm thickness, 15.56 kg/m. Roll-formed to order in S500 steel, it is used for heavy purlins, columns and long-span members. This page shows the size in black (uncoated) steel S500, minimum yield 500 MPa; other materials can be selected above.
Made to Order — Roll Formed
This profile is roll-formed to order in your length (1–25 m). The minimum order is 5000 kg per size and material. Add your sizes to a quote request and we confirm lead time and price.

Applications & Usage
Sigma+ 400x95x3 is used for heavy purlins, columns and long-span rafters on industrial and agricultural buildings. Black steel suits indoor structures and members that are painted or hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. Each size is roll-formed to order in lengths from 1 to 25 m. The minimum order is 5000 kg per size and material — add your sizes to a quote request and we confirm lead time and delivered price.

Weight and section properties are nominal values from the mill catalogue table. Values marked ≈ are calculated from the section centerline.
Indicative load span (single span, simply supported)
Allowable uniformly-distributed load (kN/m) limited by elastic bending about the strong axis (γ = 1.5 on yield, S500). Deflection is not checked and usually governs long spans. Indicative only — confirm with a project calculation.

| 2 m | ≈ 150.33 kN/m |
| 3 m | ≈ 66.81 kN/m |
| 4 m | ≈ 37.58 kN/m |
