American Standard H-Beam

The W12×22 is a widely used American Standard wide-flange H-beam (W-beam) known for its excellent structural performance and versatility. Below is a detailed introduction to its specifications, material, mechanical properties, and applications.

• Material: Typically made of ASTM A36 (carbon structural steel) or ASTM A992 (high-strength low-alloy steel for structural applications).

• Standards: Complies with ASTM A6/A6M (Standard Specification for General Requirements for Rolled Structural Steel Bars, Plates, Shapes, and Sheet Piling).

• High Strength: Suitable for high-load structures due to its excellent yield and tensile strength.

• Lightweight Design: Weighs only 22 lb/ft, reducing structural weight and foundation costs.

• Precise Dimensions: Manufactured to strict American standards, ensuring easy installation and compatibility with other structural components.

• Versatility: Can be used in a wide range of applications, including buildings, bridges, and industrial structures.

• Seismic Performance: Offers good ductility and toughness, making it suitable for earthquake-prone areas.

• Building Construction: Used in beams, columns, and frames for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

• Bridges: Ideal for bridge girders and support structures due to its high strength-to-weight ratio.

• Industrial Structures: Suitable for platforms, mezzanines, and heavy equipment supports.

• Infrastructure Projects: Commonly used in infrastructure such as highways, railways, and airports.

The W12×22 is a high-performance American Standard H-beam that combines strength, lightweight design, and precise dimensions. Its compliance with ASTM standards ensures reliability and versatility, making it a preferred choice for structural engineers and architects. Whether for buildings, bridges, or industrial applications, the W12×22 delivers exceptional performance and cost efficiency.
