Product type
Beams are long, structural elements made from steel, designed to support loads in construction and engineering applications. They are typically manufactured through processes such as hot rolling or welding, resulting in various shapes like I-beams, H-beams, and T-beams. Beams are essential components in building frameworks, bridges, and other structures, providing strength and stability.
| Material | Carbon steel or structural steel alloys |
| Standard sizes | Widths from 100 mm to 1000 mm |
| Length | Common lengths range from 6 m to 12 m |
| Weight | Weight varies from 10 kg/m to over 100 kg/m |
| Shape | I-beam, H-beam, T-beam, and channel |
| Finish | Hot rolled, cold rolled, or galvanized |
When selecting beams, consider the load requirements, span length, and the specific application to determine the appropriate size and shape. Specify the material grade, such as S235 or S355, and any necessary certifications for structural integrity. It's also important to indicate the required lengths and quantities when requesting a quote to ensure accurate pricing and availability.

I-beams have a narrower profile compared to H-beams, which have wider flanges, providing different load-bearing capacities.
Beams are usually delivered cut to length and may require additional processing like drilling or welding based on project needs.
Material grade, size, length, and market demand can all influence the pricing of beams.
Yes, beams can be customized in terms of size, shape, and finish based on specific project requirements.
Look for certifications that indicate compliance with industry standards, such as ASTM or EN standards.
Beam weight varies widely depending on size and material, typically ranging from 10 kg/m to over 100 kg/m.
