WPB 400 × 400 — 3 sections share this designation

The depth and width name a family rather than one section: the web and flange thicknesses vary within it, so the mass is what separates them. IS 808 designates these by mass for that reason, and its own footnote to the starred sections says to quote the mass when ordering. Pick the one you mean.
