H Beam Fabrication

H Beams – these structural steel beams are, as the name suggests, shaped like a capital ‘H’. These beams have wider flanges, which isn’t all that shocking considering they are often referred to as wide flange beams by some other structural steel fabricators.

H Beams – these structural steel beams are, as the name suggests, shaped like a capital ‘H’. These beams have wider flanges, which isn’t all that shocking considering they are often referred to as wide flange beams by some other structural steel fabricators.

Size range: 100*100 to 800*300mm

Standard length: 9-12m

Flange thickness range: 8-9mm

Grade: SS400, SS540, Q235B, Q345B, S235JR, S355JR

Weight – the average weight of H beams is higher than that of I beams, meaning they can withstand more force in specific applications.

Spans – H beams can be used for spans up to 100 meters.

Number of pieces – H beams look like one consistent piece of steel, but they do consist of bevelled edges which are joined together.

Centre web – the thicker centre webs of H beams mean they are slightly more robust than I beams.

H beams application:

H Beams are commonly used in the construction of buildings as well but also large trailers and bridges, among others.
