H beam steel, also known as H section steel, H shape steel, is a type of structural steel with an “H”-shaped cross-section. It consists of two parallel flanges and a central vertical web, allowing for even load distribution and enhanced load-bearing capacity. Thanks to these properties, H shaped steel is widely used in construction and industrial applications.

H shaped steel is highly favored in construction thanks to its outstanding properties, including:

  • With its wide flanges and solid central web, H shaped steel offers exceptional strength and rigidity, enhancing stability and ensuring safety for construction projects.
  • It can be easily cut, bent, and welded into complex structures while maintaining high durability, even under harsh environmental conditions such as exposure to seawater or humid climates.
  • The H-shaped structure allows for even load distribution, providing excellent stiffness and balance throughout the entire framework, resulting in more stable and durable constructions.
  • Thanks to its excellent vibration resistance, H shaped steel ensures structural integrity and safety even in extreme weather conditions such as storms, floods, coastal environments. 
  • H beam products are often hot-dip galvanized, creating a protective layer that prevents corrosion and oxidation, extends service life, and preserves the aesthetic appearance of the structure over time.

3. H shaped steel standards

Steel grades represent the technical standards, production processes, and quality levels of H shaped steel according to each country. Each grade has distinct mechanical and physical properties suited to specific applications and environmental conditions. Below are some common steel grades used for H shaped steel today:

  • Russian standard: CT3 according to GOST 380-88.

Mechanical and manufacturing industry

  • Industrial machinery: H shaped steel is used to build machine frames and load-bearing supports due to its stiffness and strength.
  • Conveyor systems: It is applied as the structural frame and support system in production lines.

Transportation industry

  • Bus stations, terminals: H shaped steel ensures durability and weather resistance for public transport structures.
  • Truck and train frames: It is used as the load-bearing skeletons for heavy trucks and train carriages, improving longevity and safety during operation.

Safety and protection structures

  • Barriers and guardrails: H shaped steel is used to build safety barriers and guardrails in industrial zones and public areas.
  • Flood and erosion control: It serves as flood-resistant piles or retaining walls.

Architecture and interior design

  • Architectural aesthetics: H shaped steel is used as a decorative frame in modern architectural spaces such as restaurants, cafés, open offices, adding a bold industrial look.
  • Interior structures: It is also applied in furniture designs like tables, shelves,, offering a minimalist and contemporary style.

6. Latest H shaped steel price update

Currently, H shaped steel is one of the most widely used structural steel types in both civil and industrial construction. Popular product lines on the market include H300, H350, H400, all standard sizes known for their excellent load-bearing capacity, high durability, and flexible application across various types of projects.

In terms of pricing, common H shaped steel typically ranges from 14.000 – 25.000 VND/kg, depending on size and manufacturer. For large imported H beam steels, the price is usually higher, around 25.000 – 35.000 VND/kg, due to stricter material standards, transportation costs, and technical requirements.

Note: The above prices are for reference only, as the steel market fluctuates depending on supply, exchange rates, transportation costs, and raw material changes. To get the most accurate and up-to-date quotation, you should contact a reputable steel supplier for consultation and product recommendations that best suit their project needs.

H shaped steel is an essential structural material that serves as a foundation in modern construction and industrial projects. To ensure optimal investment efficiency and long-term performance, you should choose standardized H shaped steel products supplied by reputable manufacturers in the market.
