What is the difference between HEA and HEB beams?

HEB sections The intermediate variant of H beam steel. Compared to the HEA beam, the HEB beam has a greater load capacity and the flange is somewhat heavier and wider than in the HEA beam. The flange width is equal to the height up to 300 mm.

What is HEA profile?

H Steel beams HEA/HEB are a very commonly used type of steel profile. Beams, otherwise called “H” sections, continental beams, or HEA/HEB, are available in multiple material grades, the most common are EN 10025 S275 and S355. H sections look similar to I sections, but the flange is wider.

What is the difference between UC and UB steel?

UC – universal column or UB – universal beam. Universal columns are the most often used sections for structural steel purposes. Unlike a universal beam, the UC’s width is roughly equal to their depth. For example, a 152 UC 23 is 152 mm wide and 152 mm deep and 152*89 UB 16 is 89mm wide and 152mm deep.

Which is stronger H-beam or I-beam?

Center Web. H-beam: An H-beam has a thicker center web, which means it is often stronger. I-beam: An I-beam often has a thinner center web, which means it is often not able to take as much force as an h-beam.

What is UPN in steel?

UPN or UNP is the short form for standardized stainless steel channels and UPN in stainless steel are used in all kinds of industrial applications, machinery and equipment building.

What is IPE profile?

IPE is the short form for bar-shaped building elements or Profiles with the parallel internal surface of the flanges and dimensions according to EN 10365. Their product tolerances are characterized through EN 10034: 1993.

What is a UC steel beam?

Universal Columns (UC) are the most often used section for structural steel purposes. Due to their section shape, they are often called “I-sections” or “H-sections”. Unlike a universal beam, the UC’s width is roughly equal to its depth. For example, a 152 UC 23 is 152 mm wide and 152 mm deep.
