H-beam W18x86 Specification Length 12M
W18x86 h beam model analysis
W: stands for Wide Flange H Beam, suitable for high load scenarios.
18: Usually indicates that the height of the steel is about 18 inches (about 457mm), but the actual size may be slightly adjusted due to differences in the manufacturer's process.
X86: Identifies a specific section parameter combination. The specific size needs to be confirmed in combination with the American standard ASTM A6/A6M standard or manufacturer data.
