The difference between HEM400 HEM500 HEM600 wide flange beam
HEM400 h type beam belongs to the European standard HEM series wide flange steel. Its flange and web thickness is significantly greater than that of the HEA/HEB series. It is suitable for heavy-load, high-stability structural scenarios, such as large industrial plants, bridge supports, etc.
HEM400 h type beam steel has a core size of 432×307×21×40 (H×B×t₁×t₂). It improves the load-bearing capacity by thickening the flange and web to meet the needs of high-strength engineering.
The dimensions of the HEM500 (S355J2) h steel profile are: approximately 500mm in height and 500mm in width (the specific values may vary slightly depending on the standard); the web thickness is thicker to support its height and strength requirements; the flange thickness matches the web thickness to provide the necessary load-bearing capacity.
The dimensions of the HEM600 (S355J2) h beam profile are: approximately 600mm in height and the width is also increased to approximately 600mm (again, the specific values may vary); the web thickness is thicker than the HEM500 to accommodate greater structural requirements; the increased size and thickness of the flange thickness ensures higher load-bearing capacity and stability.
