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
Melting and casting of steel billets.
Hot rolling to form I or H sections.
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.
