Because the cross sections can be so different it would be tough to judge any one type of beam from a table. Steel weighs about 490 lbs per cubic ft or 7.8 grams per cubic cm.
If you know the cross sectional area of the beam you're interested in you can calculate the total weight.

Best of luck. ....

Chain and hooh data, good resource ....

The American Institute of Steel Construction publishes standard shape tables for all hot rolled shapes available in the US. (AISC.org) You can also abtain this information from the U.S. producers of Structural Steel shapes, NucorYmato, txiChaparral, and Steel Dynamics. Bethelehem and United States Steel used to publish shape tables but neither one of them produce hot rolled structural shapes any more. ....
