American Standard and A36 Grade H Beam W24X68
Definition of W24x68 h section steel beam
W24x68 h beam structure is a US standard H-shaped steel. The "W" in the model stands for Wide Flange, 24" means the section height is 24 inches (about 610 mm), and 68" means the unit length weight is 68 pounds per foot (about 101 kilograms per meter). The section shape is similar to the English letter "H" and is named after it. It has excellent structural performance and mechanical properties.
