Heavy H-beam W12x230m weight 342KG

W12x230 H-beam is a type of American standard H-beam, belonging to the W12 series. The "W" in the name stands for wide flange, "12" means the height is 12 inches, and "230" means the theoretical weight per unit length is 230 pounds per foot (about 342 kilograms per meter).

Height (H): 12 inches (about 305 mm)
Flange width (Bf): usually 10 inches (about 254 mm)
Web thickness (Tw): about 0.75 inches (about 19.1 mm)
Flange thickness (Tf): about 0.75 inches (about 19.1 mm)
Theoretical weight: 230 pounds/foot (about 343.8 kg/meter)

A36 h section steel material
Chemical composition: Carbon (C) content is about 0.25%, manganese (Mn) content is moderate, phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) content are strictly controlled.
Performance characteristics: It has good weldability, toughness and impact resistance, suitable for general construction and machinery manufacturing.

A572GR50 h beam material
Chemical composition: Similar to A36, but with higher strength.
Performance characteristics: It has higher yield strength and tensile strength, and is suitable for structures that require higher load-bearing capacity.

High strength: It can withstand large loads and is suitable for high-load structures.
Good bending resistance: The geometric design of the flange and web gives it excellent bending resistance.
Good weldability: It is suitable for on-site welding construction to ensure the integrity of the structure.
Corrosion resistance: The corrosion resistance can be improved by coating treatment.
Economical: The cost of A36 material is low, while A572GR50 material provides higher cost performance.

Building structures: such as beams and columns of high-rise buildings, industrial plants, and warehouses.
Bridge engineering: Support beams and beams for bridges.
Mechanical equipment: As brackets or structural parts of mechanical equipment.
Other structures: Such as port facilities, towers, and other structures that require high-strength support.
