Every Metsa Wood I-joist and LVL section

All 140 Metsa Wood sections in the Calcs.com library, with the section properties and characteristic values used to design them.

These are section properties and characteristic values, not allowable spans. A span depends on your loads, member spacing, and deflection limit, so it has to be calculated.

Every section below is built into the calculator. Enter your span and loads to see whether the section passes, and by how much.

Characteristic values are taken from ITI Technical Data Sheet, November 2023, ITI Technical Data Sheet, November 2024, Material properties of Kerto® LVL S-beam in Australia (July 2020) and 1 other published source. Last reviewed against the published catalog 2 years ago. If you are specifying to the current catalog, check the values against Metsa Wood's latest published design criteria.

Frequently asked questions

What sizes does Metsa Wood I-joist and LVL come in?
Calcs.com carries 140 Metsa Wood sections across LVL S-beam, LVL S-beam PLUS, Finn® and LVL T-stud. Depths run from 90 mm to 600 mm (90, 120, 130, 140, 150, 170, 190, 200, 225, 240, 255, 260, 290, 300, 360, 400, 450, 500, 525, 600 mm), in breadths of 33, 36, 39, 45, 51, 57, 58, 63, 69, 75, 89, 96 mm. Every one of those sections is selectable in the calculators listed on this page.
Is there a span table for Metsa Wood I-joist and LVL?
This page publishes section properties and characteristic values, not allowable spans. A span is not a property of the section: it depends on the loads you apply, the member spacing, and the deflection limit you design to, so the same section spans different distances on different jobs. Rather than reading a span off a generic table, select the Metsa Wood section in a Calcs.com calculator and enter your actual loads. The calculator checks bending, shear, bearing, and deflection and reports the governing limit.
What are the characteristic values for Metsa Wood LVL S-beam?
LVL S-beam is published with modulus of elasticity 13,200 MPa, characteristic shear strength 4.2 MPa, compression parallel to grain 33 MPa and approximate density 510 kg/m3. Characteristic bending strength varies with depth, from 37.9 MPa to 50.3 MPa across the sizes in the table above. It is strength group SD7 and joint group JD4. Values are taken from ITI Technical Data Sheet, November 2023, ITI Technical Data Sheet, November 2024, Material properties of Kerto® LVL S-beam in Australia (July 2020) and QuickDesign Version 3.0.0.1 - 3/Nov/2013, so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.
What are the characteristic values for Metsa Wood Finn®?
Finn® is published with modulus of elasticity 13,200 MPa and compression parallel to grain 28 MPa. Values are taken from ITI Technical Data Sheet, November 2023, ITI Technical Data Sheet, November 2024, Material properties of Kerto® LVL S-beam in Australia (July 2020) and QuickDesign Version 3.0.0.1 - 3/Nov/2013, so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.
What are the characteristic values for Metsa Wood LVL T-stud?
LVL T-stud is published with modulus of elasticity 9,200 MPa, characteristic shear strength 3.6 MPa, compression parallel to grain 26 MPa and approximate density 440 kg/m3. It is strength group SD8 and joint group JD5. Values are taken from ITI Technical Data Sheet, November 2023, ITI Technical Data Sheet, November 2024, Material properties of Kerto® LVL S-beam in Australia (July 2020) and QuickDesign Version 3.0.0.1 - 3/Nov/2013, so check them against the manufacturer's current design guide before you rely on them.
Does Calcs.com support Metsa Wood products?
Yes. 140 Metsa Wood sections are built into the section library, so you select them from a dropdown rather than entering properties by hand. They are available in 8 calculators, listed on this page.
