Hello.
I am going to demolish a load-bearing wall. I need a 4400 mm long beam for support.
I have calculated an IX value of 1914cm^4.
Does anyone know how to find the right beam with suitable dimensions?
HEA or HEB-
Plotter
 
Could go with an HE180A which has I= 25.1 x 1000000 mm4
 
Or an IPE 200 that has 1943 cm4 (assuming the figure you presented includes a safety factor, otherwise an IPE 180 might be too weak).

Edit:
I noticed you asked about HE beams.
HE180A or HE160B.
They have similar performance in terms of deflection.
