Load bearing wall, is it or isn't it?

This diydoctor page has a table for determining if a beam can take a load. My beams are 200x50mm, spaced 400mm apart. The internal length of room would be 3.6m (parallel to the joists) by 2.8m wide.
I take it I can ignore the width of the room ?
The closest the table has is 50 x 195 mm with a span of 4.13m. So AIUI i don't need a beam but am being told I do
Are the values on that table still valid?
