1. Product Overview
1.1 Product Name
Common Name: H Section Steel, Wide Flange Steel Beam, H Beam
English Name: H Section Steel / H Beam / Wide Flange Beam
HS Code: 7216102000 (Hot-rolled H Section Steel); 7216319000 (Welded H Section Steel)
1.2 Section Structure Description
The section consists of web (section height H) and upper and lower flanges (flange width B). The inner and outer surfaces of the flanges are completely parallel with right-angle design and no gradient. Compared with ordinary I-beams, it features uniform stress distribution and stable structure, serving as a cost-effective load-bearing steel material widely used in global infrastructure and steel structure projects.
Universal Specification Marking Format: H×B×t₁×t₂
H = Section Height, B = Flange Width, t₁ = Web Thickness, t₂ = Flange Thickness
Example: HN400×200×8×13
