ASTM W36x247 W36x262 Wide Flange H Beam

W36 steel is a wide flange H-shaped steel in the US standard, commonly used in building structures, especially those that require higher strength and stability.

W36x247 h shaped steel
Nominal size: W36 indicates that its nominal depth is 36 inches (about 914.4 mm).
Weight per foot: 247 pounds per foot (about 368.5 kilograms per meter). This means that the steel weighs 247 pounds per foot.
Cross-sectional area: about 72.0 square inches (about 46452 square millimeters).
Moment of inertia (Ix): about 19500in^4 (about 2020000cm^4).
Flexural modulus (Sx): about 1080in^3 (about 17700cm^3).

W36x262 h section steel
Nominal size: also W36, nominal depth is 36 inches (about 914.4 mm).
Weight per foot: 262 lbs/ft (about 390.5 kg/m). Compared to W36x247 steel beam h, it is heavier per unit length, which means it may have a higher load-bearing capacity or different application requirements.
Cross-sectional area: It will be slightly larger than W36x247 h section beam, with a specific value of approximately 77.0 square inches (about 49677 square millimeters).
Moment of inertia (Ix): Relatively higher, about 21500in^4 (about 2230000cm^4).
Flexural modulus (Sx): It also increases accordingly, about 1190in^3 (about 19500cm^3).
