Dimensions and section properties for W10X54 w wide flange beam

 

W10X54 Wide Flange H Beam Model Meaning
W: stands for Wide-Flange Beam, i.e. H-shaped steel, with the width of the flange close to the height of the web, and an "H"-shaped cross section with excellent bending resistance.
10: Indicates that the cross-sectional height of the steel is approximately 10 inches (254mm) (the actual size is subject to the standard).
54: Indicates that the weight per foot of length is approximately 54 pounds (lb/ft), converted to metric units:
Weight per meter ≈ 80.4 kg/m (54 lb/ft × 1.4882 = 80.36 kg/m).

 

Dimensions (ASTM A6 standard)

parameter Inch (in) Millimeter (mm) illustrate
Section height (h) 10.12 257.0 Belt Height (slightly more than 10 inches)
Flange width (b₁) 10.12 257.0 Width of flanges on both sides (similar to height)
Web thickness (tₙ) 0.48 12.20 Thickness of the middle web
Flange thickness (tₓ) 0.75 19.05 Thickness of flange edge
Moment of inertia (Ix) 684 in⁴ 28470 cm⁴ Bending moment of inertia about the strong axis (x-axis)
Moment of inertia (Iy) 228 in⁴ 9490 cm⁴ Bending moment of inertia about the weak axis (y-axis)
Section modulus (Sx) 135 in³ 2212 cm³ Section modulus of bending about strong axis
Section modulus (Sy) 45.0 in³ 737 cm³ Bending section modulus about weak axis

 

W10X54 wide flange beam production and standards
Production process: hot rolling, flange and web are rolled into shape at one time, with high precision and smooth surface.
Implementation standards:
USA: ASTM A6 (general standard for steel), material standards such as ASTM A36 h section steel, A992 steel h beam.
Equivalent standards: China Q355B h beam (close to A992), Europe S355JR structural steel h beam.

 

W10X54 h beam wide flange performance advantages
High strength and stiffness: The flange width is similar to the section height (close to square), and the two-way bending resistance is balanced, which is suitable for bearing complex loads (such as beam and column integrated frame structure).
Efficient section design: The material distribution is far away from the neutral axis of the section, and the bending resistance is better than ordinary I-beam (I-beam) under the same weight.
Convenient connection: The wide flange is easy to bolt or weld, suitable for building rigid nodes (such as steel frame beam-column connection).
