There are a lot of considerations to be taken into account for sizing steel shapes, especially for a residential home. For instance, what are the load imposed upon the beam? How will the beam be supported? What environment will the beam sit in (i.e. high humidity, moisture, vibration)? A licensed professional engineer or architect in your state can better answer this question.

Are you talking about an I beam say for a basement, or an engineered header like a flitch plate used for opening a load bearing wall?Your best bet would be to contact architect and show them the blueprints for your residence

Any size steel beam would support such a load. If it could not it would not be classed as a beam.
