H column Beams ASTM American standard W10X60 Hot rolled H Beam
W10x60 steel wide flange beam section dimensions
Nominal height: 10 inches (approximately 254mm) Actual height: approximately 250mm (specific values vary slightly depending on the manufacturer) Flange width: 205mm (conventional design value, corresponding to the American standard H-beam W10 series) Web thickness: 12.7mm Flange thickness: 16.5mm Theoretical weight per meter: 89.3kg/m (metric conversion value)
W10x60 h beam profile Common materials
A36 h section beam Material: low carbon steel, tensile strength 400–550MPa, yield strength ≥250MPa, suitable for general building structures.
A572 GR50 h-shaped steel Material: low alloy high-strength steel, tensile strength ≥450MPa, yield strength ≥345MPa, elongation ≥21%, suitable for heavy-load scenarios.
A992 h-shaped steel beam Material: high-strength alloy steel, with both earthquake resistance, corrosion resistance and weldability, widely used in high-rise buildings and bridge projects.
Implementation standard: strictly follow ASTM A6/A6M to ensure that dimensional tolerances and mechanical properties meet the standards.
W10x60 Mechanical properties and structural advantages
Bending capacity: wide flange design (205mm) combined with thick web (12.7mm) significantly improves the section moment of inertia, suitable for large-span beam structures.
Shear bearing capacity: The web thickness is 12.7mm, which can withstand high stress shear loads, suitable for heavy support columns and bridge beams.
Welding compatibility: Supports arc welding, gas shielded welding and other processes to meet the needs of complex node connections.
W10x60 h type beam production and suggestions
Production process: Hot rolling process is used for batch production to ensure cross-sectional dimensional accuracy and mechanical performance stability.
Selection suggestions: A992 material is preferred for earthquake-resistant or high-corrosion scenarios, and the final specifications need to be determined in combination with engineering load calculations.
