W44 Beam Sizes
The W44 series runs 6 sizes, from W44x408 at 408 lb/ft to W44x230 at 230 lb/ft. They share a nominal depth and a common set of rolls, so a size change within the series usually keeps the connection detail intact.

Nominal depth is not actual depth; the tabulated d above is what to detail to.
