IPE

IPE

Steel beams are among the most important structural sections, serving as the main load-bearing members in steel structures. With their special geometric shape, they can withstand bending and compressive forces, providing high strength to buildings and industrial structures.



Key Features of Steel Beams

  • High resistance to bending and pressure.

  • Weldability and easy cutting for steel frame connections.

  • Produced in different lengths and sizes (usually 6 to 12 meters).

  • Precise dimensional standards to ensure proper load-bearing.



Types of Steel Beams

  • IPE Beam: European standard with parallel flanges, the most common type in Iran.

  • INP Beam: Chinese and Russian standard with inclined flanges.

  • H-Beam (IPB): Wide flange, suitable for columns and heavy structures.

  • Honeycomb Beam: With hexagonal openings to reduce weight and allow utility passages.



Production Process of Steel Beams

  1. Melting and casting of steel billets.

  2. Hot rolling to form I or H sections.

  3. Cutting and cooling, then packaging for supply.



Applications of Steel Beams

  • Construction of steel frames for residential and commercial buildings.

  • Execution of bridges, warehouses, and industrial structures.

  • Manufacturing of columns, trusses, and heavy steel frames.



Key Points for Purchasing Steel Beams

  • Production Standard: ISIRI, DIN, or ASTM according to structural drawings.

  • Size and Weight: Must comply with Stah1 table and engineering calculations.

  • Surface Quality: Free from warping, rust, or cracks.

  • Manufacturer Brand: Choose a reputable mill to ensure mechanical properties.
