Product type
I beams, also known as H beams or universal beams, are a type of structural steel beam shaped like the letter 'I'. They are made from high-quality steel, which provides strength and durability, making them ideal for construction and engineering applications. The design of I beams allows for efficient load distribution, making them suitable for supporting heavy structures such as bridges, buildings, and industrial frameworks.
| Material | Structural steel, typically S235, S275, or S355 grades |
| Standard sizes | Widths from 100mm to 1000mm and heights from 100mm to 800mm |
| Length | Common lengths range from 6m to 12m, with custom lengths available |
| Weight | Weights vary from 10 kg/m to over 100 kg/m depending on size |
| Flange thickness | Typically ranges from 5mm to 25mm |
| Web thickness | Typically ranges from 5mm to 20mm |
When selecting I beams, consider the specific load requirements and structural design of your project. Specify the grade of steel required, as well as the dimensions including width, height, and thickness of flanges and webs. It is also important to discuss any necessary certifications or standards that must be met for your application, as well as the quantity needed for your project.
