Steel is a versatile material whose strength, pliability, toughness, weight to strength ratio, aesthetic appeal and eco-friendliness is par excellence. That is what makes it practically the core of every possible commercial structure that prevails in the world.\u00a0 However, steel or any other metal cannot be used on their own rather they are structured to form columns and beam which turn out to be the backbone of every industry.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Important thing is that every steel or metal beam is not the same; rather they distinguish each other in terms of grade, size, shape and even quality of metals used in its making. Some of the common forms of beam include Universal Beams<\/strong><\/a>, W-Beam, H-Beam, I Beam, Rolled Steel Joist and many more. Out of the many beams available steel H beams<\/strong><\/a> and I beams have remained to be popular.<\/p>\n

Importance of Steel H Beams and I Beams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both H and I steel beams are structurally rolled steel with a cross section that is similar to that of letter I and H. Here, the H beams tend to have wider flanges in comparison to I beams, whereas the I beams are known for their tapered ends that prevail at the centre of the rib and is called as web.<\/p>\n

So, there is a basic difference between the width and height ratio in case of both H and metal I beams. Therefore, I beams include those type which have I cross section like UC beams<\/strong><\/a> (universal column) and universal beams.<\/p>\n

As, for H beams the flange can either be more or equal to the area of cross section, but in case of I beams the height will always remain higher than its width. In general, considering H beams to be better than that of I beams would be quiet subjective. This is because the type of beams that you need is dependent upon your industrial applications. However, it is suggested to have the best quality beams with optimal configuration that would suit your requirements.<\/p>\n

The Industrial Applications of H and I Beams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stainless steel, carbon steel or alloys no matter which type of beam you want to have, understanding their application is of utmost importance<\/p>\n
