FAQ
1. What does "150" mean in H beam 150?
It refers to the depth (height) of the beam (150mm).
2. Can H beam 150 be used for a 6m span?
Yes, but check deflection limits. For heavy loads, consider HEB 150 h beam or larger sections.
3. Is HEA 150 h beam structure the same as H beam 150 steel h beam?
Yes, HEA 150 h shaped beam is a European-standard H beam with 150mm height.
