H shaped steel is an essential material widely used across various industries. With its distinctive design featuring two parallel flanges and a central web, H shaped steel offers exceptional load-bearing capacity, ensuring durability and structural stability for construction projects. In the following article, join BMB Steel to explore what H shaped steel is, along with its key features, standards, technical specifications, and the latest market prices.
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.
