A992 h shaped steel material overview
A992 steel beam is a low alloy high strength structural steel that meets the American ASTM A992/A992M standard. It has excellent mechanical properties, good weldability and economy, and is widely used in construction, bridges, machinery manufacturing and other fields.
Main features of A992 h section beam material
High yield strength: minimum yield strength is 345 MPa (50 ksi).
High strength: minimum tensile strength is 450 MPa (65 ksi).
Good weldability: convenient for on-site construction and connection.
Corrosion resistance: suitable for a variety of environmental conditions.
Specifications of W18x55 wide flange beam
Height (H): 18 inches (about 457.2 mm).
Flange width (B): 55 inches (about 1397 mm).
Flange thickness (tf): about 0.75 inches (about 19.1 mm).
Web thickness (tw): about 0.625 inches (about 15.9 mm).
Section modulus (Sx): about 30 inches³ (about 492,960 mm³).
Section area (Ax): about 53.8 square inches (about 344.5 square mm).
Features of W18x55 w shape beam under A992 material
High strength: higher yield strength and tensile strength enable it to withstand larger loads and moments.
Good bending resistance: the section modulus is large, suitable for use as a beam or column.
Lightweight design: while ensuring strength, the weight is relatively light, which is easy to transport and install.
Economical: A992 steel has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which can reduce the overall structural weight and cost.
Durability: suitable for a variety of environmental conditions and has good corrosion resistance.
Application areas of W18x55 h beam wide flange
