American Wide Flange H Beams W14X43 with Grade ASTM A36

 

W14x43 h shaped steel belongs to the American standard H-shaped steel, where "W" stands for wide flange, "14" represents the section height of about 14 inches (the actual size needs to be converted to millimeters), and "43" is the section weight (pounds/foot).

 

 

W14x43 h section beam section size

 

Waist height (H): 347mm
Leg width (B): 203mm
Waist thickness (t1): 7.7mm
Leg thickness (t2): 13.5mm
Single beam weight: about 43 pounds/foot (converted to 6.48kg/m)

Size comparison: This model is compatible with British standard UC15215237 and Australian standard 150UC37.2, and is suitable for alternative selection of international engineering projects.

 

 

A36 h section steel material characteristics

 

Chemical composition: carbon (C) ≤0.26%, manganese (Mn) ≤1.65%, phosphorus (P) ≤0.04%, sulfur (S) ≤0.05%.

Mechanical properties: yield strength ≥ 250MPa, tensile strength between 400-550MPa, elongation ≥ 20% (no impact requirement).

Process characteristics: flame cutting, laser cutting and other processing methods can be used, suitable for complex structural requirements; the surface can be tested for flaw detection (Z15/Z35 grade) and heat treatment to optimize performance.

 

 

A36 W14x43 steel h beam Application areas


Construction engineering: used for load-bearing columns, beams, trusses, etc. in high-rise buildings, especially suitable for frame structures that require high load-bearing capacity.

 

Bridges and ships: suitable for supporting structures of bridges and keels, decks and other components of ships due to their impact resistance and corrosion resistance.

 

Machinery manufacturing: used for bases, brackets and frames of industrial equipment for heavy machinery to meet high strength requirements.
