What is W12 steel?

Wide Flange Beam Dimensions Chart for sizes, dimensions and section properties of steel wide flange beams. Thus W12 × 19 designates a wide flange beam with a depth of 12 inches and a nominal weight of 19 pounds per foot.

What are I-beams made of?

I-Beams are commonly made of structural steel but can be formed out of aluminum. 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.

What is a W10x22 beam?

In the United States, steel I-beams are commonly specified using the depth and weight of the beam. For example, a “W10x22” beam is approximately 10 in (25 cm) in depth (nominal height of the I-beam from the outer face of one flange to the outer face of the other flange) and weighs 22 lb/ft (33 kg/m).

How do you calculate the weight of an I-beam?

Straight beams: 1. Standard weight: We calculate the standard weight as follows: G = L * mweight, where L is the length of the beam calculated as the difference between the extreme points of the beam body along the direction of the beam axis, taking into account all features except holes.

What does W mean in steel Beams?

Lets start with the most widely used beam for structural steel. W-Beams, so called because they are technically known as Wide-Flange Beams, come in a wide variety of size from 4” tall to 44” tall. Note: the size description of the W-beams are always listed as height of beam x lbs.

What are the sizes of steel beams?

A residential steel beam is very common in most homes. Most are 8 inches tall, but 10 or 12-inch-high beams allow you to span greater distances with fewer pesky columns.

How wide is a steel beam?

The steel beam will span 25 feet, and it will have no additional loads such as wind or snow. The beam must be no more than 5 1/2″ wide, and it can have a maximum deflection of about 1/2″ in 25 feet.

What is the weight of a steel beam?

Usually this means the steel beam is very close to 8 inches tall and weighs 17 pounds per linear foot. This is a very common size found in many residential homes. But you can get 8-inch-tall steel I-beams that weigh over 35 pounds per foot.

What is a wide flange steel beam?

Wide Flange is a type of steel beam used in the construction and structural industry. It features a shape resembling the letter H. Nucor Skyline supplies wide flange sections produced from recycled steel using clean electric arc furnace technology.
