What are the properties of W14x22 wide flange H-beam made of A572-50 material?
A572-50 steel beam is widely used in buildings, bridges and other infrastructure projects due to its good strength, weldability and durability.
W14x22 structural steel beam is a specific type of American standard H-beam, where "W" stands for wide flange steel, "14" means its nominal depth is 14 inches (actual dimensions may vary slightly), and "22" means the weight per foot of length is about 22 pounds.
