The difference between HEA160 h-shaped steel and HEB160 h-shaped beam
Sectional dimensions
HEA160 h profile steel: It is a narrow flange H-shaped steel with the specifications of 152×160×6×9mm, i.e., the height is 160mm, the flange width is 152mm, the web thickness is 6mm, and the flange thickness is 9mm.
HEB160 h beam profile: It is a mid-flange H-shaped steel with a wider flange than HEA160. It usually has the dimensions of 160×160×6.5×10mm, a height of 160mm, a flange width of 160mm, a web thickness of 6.5mm, and a flange thickness of 10mm.
Mechanical properties
Bearing capacity: Due to the wider flange, thicker web and greater overall weight, the bearing capacity of HEB160 h type beam is higher than that of HEA160 h type steel beam. It can withstand greater loads and bending moments and is suitable for occasions with higher requirements for structural strength and stability.
Bending and torsion resistance: The wider flange and reasonable cross-sectional shape make HEB160 steel beam h superior to HEA160 material h beam in bending and torsion resistance, and more suitable for use in structures with torsion or subjected to large bending stress.
Application scenarios
HEA160 h shaped iron beam: It is suitable for general building structures that have certain requirements on structural weight and are not particularly demanding on bearing capacity, such as secondary beams of small buildings, secondary components in light steel structures, non-load-bearing partitions, etc. Because of its relatively light weight, it can reduce the burden on the foundation when used in some structures that are sensitive to self-weight.
HEB160 h shaped steel beam: It is often used in important structural parts that require high bearing capacity and structural stability, such as the main beams of large industrial buildings, frame beams of high-rise buildings, and supporting structures of bridges. It can withstand greater loads and complex stress states to ensure the safety and reliability of the structure.
