Product type
Universal beams, also known as I-beams or H-beams, are structural steel components commonly used in construction and engineering projects. They are characterized by their I-shaped cross-section, which provides excellent strength-to-weight ratios. Made primarily from steel, these beams are designed to support heavy loads and resist bending and shear forces, making them essential in building frameworks, bridges, and other structures.
| Material | Structural steel, typically S235, S275, or S355 grades |
| Standard sizes | Depths ranging from 100 mm to 1000 mm |
| Weight per meter | From 10 kg/m to over 100 kg/m |
| Length options | Standard lengths from 6 m to 12 m, custom lengths available |
| Flange thickness | Typically between 5 mm to 20 mm |
| Web thickness | Typically between 5 mm to 12 mm |
When selecting universal beams, consider the load requirements, span length, and specific application to ensure the appropriate size and grade are chosen. It's important to specify the desired material grade, such as S235, S275, or S355, along with any necessary certifications for structural integrity. Additionally, provide details on the required lengths and quantities, as well as any specific tolerances needed for your project.

I-beams have narrower flanges compared to H-beams, which have wider flanges for increased stability.
Yes, universal beams can be cut to custom lengths as per project requirements.
Common grades include S235, S275, and S355, each offering different strength characteristics.
Yes, but they should be treated or coated to prevent corrosion if exposed to the elements.
Weights can range from 10 kg/m to over 100 kg/m, depending on size and thickness.
They are typically installed using welding or bolting, depending on the structural design.
