Factory Price Customized for Building High Quality I-Beam H-Beam

H-beam is an economical section and high-efficiency section with more optimized cross-sectional area distribution and more reasonable strength-to-weight ratio.

H-beam has the advantages of strong bending resistance, simple construction, cost saving and light structure in all directions, and has been widely used.

1.What is I-beam steel?

and it is also known as H, W, wide, universal beam, or rolled joist. They are designed to play a key role as a support member in structures.

2.Why is it called an I-beam?

Their name comes from their distinctive cross-sectional shape, which resembles the letter "I" or "H." Each beam features horizontal elements called flanges and a vertical element known as a web, enabling the I-beam to handle various types of loads effectively.

3.What is the material of an I-beam?

I-Beams are commonly made of . I-beams are most widely used in construction and can have an application for use in both beams as well as columns. Infra-Metals offers many different sizes, lengths, and specifications for I-beams.

4.Which is stronger, H or I-beam?

To short, the main difference between an H-beam and an I-beam is that the web of an H-beam is much thicker than that of an I-beam. , which allows for more load-bearing capacity. This means that for the same amount of structural support, you can use fewer H beams than I beams.

5.How strong is an I-beam?

A36: 36,000 psi (250 MPa) A572: 42,000–60,000 psi (290–410 MPa), with 50,000 psi (340 MPa) the most common.
