ASTM H Beam: Dimensions,Grades and Applications

H Beams (also called H Beam Steel or Structural H Beams) are the backbone of today's establishment and infrastructure. Due to their high strength to weight ratio and versatility design H Beams are commonly employed in steel structures, bridges, warehouses, industrial buildings etc. For builders, architects, and steel importers, it is important that they understand the dimensions, grades, and uses of these products.

H Beam Dimensions

The size, length and thickness of H Beams vary from one to another so you can use them for any purpose in construction. Standard H Beam sizes include height, width, flange thickness, and web thickness, which can be adjusted to meet the requirement of project. General size charts are available for ASTM H Beam, EN H Beam, JIS H Beam and GB H Beam standards.

  • Typical Heights: 100mm – 900mm

  • Widths: 100mm – 300mm

  • Length: 6m – 12m (customized cutting available)

  • Flange Thickness: 6mm – 25mm

These are just a few reasons why H Beams are so widely used in structural steel construction.

ASTM H Beam Grades

ASTM standards define the mechanical properties of H Beams, ensuring high-quality steel for construction. Common ASTM H Beam grades include:

  • ASTM A36 H Beam: High strength, good weldability, suitable for residential and commercial construction.

  • ASTM A572 H Beam: Higher tensile strength, ideal for bridges, warehouses, and industrial projects.

  • ASTM A992 H Beam: Widely used in steel structures, offering excellent durability and resistance to bending.

The grades usually have an accompanying Mill Test Certificates (MTC) or SGS inspection reports that provide a guarantee of quality which gives confidence to importers and contractors for the quality of the product.

Applications of H Beam

H Beams are versatile structural steel elements widely applied across industries:

  • Construction: Buildings, warehouses, and residential projects benefit from the high load-bearing capacity of H Beams.

  • Bridges and Infrastructure: Durable and reliable, H Beams are used in bridges, roads, and industrial plants.

  • Industrial Facilities: Steel structures, machinery foundations, and heavy-duty workshops require robust H Beam support.

  • Export Markets: Popular in South America, North America, and Southeast Asia, especially for projects in Mexico, the Philippines, and Brazil.

H Beams can be provided in hot rolled steel, the lengths, sizes and grades can be customized based on your project requirements. High quality H Beams are usually certified by ASTM, EN, JIS or GB etc standards and suppliers have them complied with international building codes.
