A992 W12 X 22 Wide Flange H Section Hot Rolled Steel

W12 X 22 h beam profile basic parameters
Cross-section dimensions: waist height 303mm × leg width 101mm, waist thickness 5.1mm, leg thickness 5.7mm.
Theoretical weight: 32.7kg/m (calculated according to ASTM standard weight).
Model interpretation: W12 means the section height is 12 inches (about 305mm), and "22" represents 22 pounds per foot.

ASTM A992 h beam section material properties
Carbon (C): ≤0.23%
Manganese (Mn): 0.5-1.5%
Phosphorus (P): ≤0.025%
Sulfur (S): ≤0.025%
Copper (Cu): ≥0.2% (enhanced corrosion resistance)
Yield strength: ≥345MPa
Tensile strength: 450-620MPa
Elongation: ≥18% (gauge length 200mm)

W12 X 22 h steel profile structural advantages
Bending performance: The moment of inertia of the H-shaped section reaches 1.1×10^6 mm⁴, and the bidirectional bending resistance is better than that of ordinary I-beams.
Lightweight design: Compared with solid steel with the same load-bearing capacity, the weight is reduced by 15-20%.
Welding compatibility: Carbon equivalent Ceq≤0.45%, suitable for arc welding/gas shielded welding.

W12 X 22 structural steel beam Typical application scenarios
Building structure: high-rise building frame columns, truss chords (span ≤ 18m).
Industrial equipment: crane travel beams, equipment support platforms.
Special fields: offshore platform auxiliary structures (anti-corrosion coatings are required).
