Introduction of I Beam

I-beam is a common type of steel, named because its cross-section is shaped like the letter “I”. I-beam is easy to cut, bend and weld, saving construction time, and is widely used in many fields. The I-beams we supply have strong bearing capacity, good toughness, high strength, and corrosion resistance treatment is hot-dip galvanizing, with complete specifications.

Weight Calculation Formula

  • W(kg)= 2 x (flange width x flange thickness) + (total height – 2 x web thickness) x web thickness x density
  • Where density = 7850kg/m³, flange width, flange thickness, total height, web thickness units should be converted to m.
