A992 Hot Rolled Steel H-Shaped Steel W14X132 American Wide Flange Beam

Model naming rules: "W" in W14x132 stands for wide flange, "14" stands for nominal height of 14 inches (about 356mm), and "132" stands for weight per foot of 132 pounds (about 196kg/m).
Sectional characteristics: The thickness of the flange and web is evenly distributed, the inner surface of the flange has no inclination, and the upper and lower planes are parallel, which is convenient for processing and welding connection.
Material: A992 low-alloy structural steel, with high strength (yield strength ≥ 345MPa) and good plasticity, in line with ASTM standards.
Process: hot-rolled forming, the surface can be hot-dip galvanized or sprayed with anti-corrosion coating.
Tolerance control: It meets the geometric dimensions and form and position tolerance requirements of ASTM A6 standard.

‌High load-bearing capacity‌: The optimized section design makes its bending strength significantly better than ordinary I-beams, suitable for large-span beam structures.
‌Seismic performance‌: The deoxidation alloying process improves the toughness of the material, which can effectively disperse energy and maintain structural stability under seismic loads.
‌Lightweight and efficient‌: Excellent strength-to-weight ratio, which can reduce material consumption and reduce the overall structural weight.
‌Processing technology‌: Normalizing treatment can refine the grains and improve the comprehensive mechanical properties, which is suitable for load-bearing parts with complex forces.

1. The flange and the web are arranged at right angles, which is convenient for bolt connection or welding and improves construction efficiency.
2. The unified cross-sectional geometric parameters support modular design and simplify engineering calculations and assembly processes.
3. The wide flange design enhances lateral stiffness and reduces the risk of buckling, which is suitable for high-rise building columns and heavy trusses.

‌Construction engineering‌: high-rise building frame columns, industrial plant main beams and steel structure platform supports.
‌Bridge engineering‌: main beams and diaphragm structures of railway/highway bridges.
Industrial facilities: petrochemical equipment supports, power towers and heavy machinery frames.
