I beam
I am removing the center posts supporting a 20 x 25 area of an old barn which is simple 2x4's and tin. I want to install an I beam but not sure about the strength I need. I think a W6x9 will do. 25' span. No hoist or anything to be used..??

Banned. Rule And/Or Policy Violation
Going to need someone on site to size a beam like that.
Really want to trust people on the net that you do not know and have never seen the job?

I'll translate Joe' post for you. Would it be possible for you to post a few pictures of the area you will be working in? It may help us understand what you are doing, and may be able to offer suggestions. A structural engineer on site would be money well spent.
