Products Description
H-beam is a structural steel beam that has an H-shaped cross-section. H-beams are made from rolled steel and are also known as I-beams or wide flange beams. H-beams are strong and are commonly used in metal construction, such as buildings, mezzanines, and overhead cranes. They are characterized by parallel flanges and a perpendicular web. H-beams have wider flanges and higher web heights than other beams, resulting in increased weight and excellent load-bearing capacity. H-beams are fabricated as built-up units, with the flanges welded to the web to form the H-section. The production process for H-beams includes plate pretreatment, cutting and blanking, H-beam assembly, welding, flaw detection, correction, end surface processing, drilling, cleaning, and coating.


U-beam is a type of structural steel beam that has a cross-section shaped like the letter "U". It has flanges on the top and bottom and a web in the center. The shape of the U-beam gives it a higher resistance to bending. U-beams are also known as C beams or parallel flange channels. They are commonly used in the construction of buildings and bridges. A universal beam is a beam of the same cross-section along its length. In other words, the steel beam has the same dimensions from end to end. The height of the Ibeam is greater than or equal to its width at any point along its length, whereas a universal column has an equal or greater width than height

Products Advantages
● H-beams
H-beams are stronger than I-beams and can withstand direct and tensile loads. They can span longer distances with fewer support columns, which can lower project costs. H-beams are also durable, with a high strength-to-weight ratio. They are easy to weld and have a large surface area in their cross-section.
● U-beams
U-beams are strong enough to withstand large loads, which can reduce the need for additional support structures. They are designed to handle uniform loads across their length. U-beams also distribute weight evenly, which reduces stress on the web
