Standard and production of American standard H h beam wide flange W12x50
W12x50 h profile steel is a type of American standard H-beam (Wide Flange H-Beam), belonging to the W12 series. The "W" in the naming convention stands for wide flange, 12" means the height is 12 inches, and 50" means the theoretical weight per unit length is 50 pounds per foot (about 73.5 kilograms per meter).
W12x50 steel h profile specific size parameters
Height (H): 12 inches (about 305 mm)
Flange width (Bf): usually 6.75 inches (about 171.5 mm)
Web thickness (Tw): about 0.5 inches (about 12.7 mm)
Flange thickness (Tf): about 0.5 inches (about 12.7 mm)
Theoretical weight: 50 pounds per foot (about 73.5 kilograms per meter)
Common materials for W12x50 h beam section
A572 GR50: A high-strength low-alloy structural steel with a high yield strength, suitable for structures that bear large loads.
A992: An improved structural steel with higher yield strength and tensile strength, as well as good impact toughness and welding performance, widely used in construction and bridge engineering.
W12x50 structural steel beam Performance characteristics
High strength: Able to withstand large loads, suitable for structures requiring high load-bearing capacity.
Excellent bending resistance: The geometric design of the flange and web gives it good bending resistance.
High shear strength: Suitable for structures subject to shear and torsion.
Good weldability: Suitable for on-site welding construction.
Corrosion resistance: Depending on the coating treatment method, its durability in harsh environments can be improved.
