h beam W40x278 W40x294 wide flange steel
W40x278 W40x294 steel h beam will be made of ASTM A992 or A572 Gr.50 grade steel, which has good strength and toughness and is suitable for various building structure applications. ASTM A992 standard stipulates that the minimum yield strength of steel is 50ksi (about 345MPa) and the tensile strength is between 65 and 80ksi (about 450 to 550MPa).
Specifications of W40x278 W40x294 Wide Flange H Beam
W40x278 h beam wide flange
Weight: 278 pounds per foot (about 126 kg/m).
Application: Suitable for large building frames, bridge construction and other applications that require high load-bearing capacity.
W40x294 steel wide flange beam
Weight: 294 pounds per foot (about 133.3 kg/m).
Size: Compared with W40x278 h section steel, W40x294 is heavier, has a larger cross-sectional size or thicker plate, providing higher load-bearing capacity and rigidity.
Application: Commonly used in heavy steel structure projects, such as high-rise buildings, industrial plants, and other occasions with high requirements for structural stability and strength.
Specification difference between W40x278 W40x294 wide flange beam
Weight difference: The most obvious difference is the weight difference per foot. W40x294 is 16 pounds per foot heavier than W40x278, indicating that W40x294 uses more material, has a larger cross-sectional size or thicker plate.
Mechanical properties: Due to the difference in weight, W40x294 generally has a higher section modulus and moment of inertia, which performs better in resisting bending and is suitable for bearing higher loads.
Application scenarios: Although both are suitable for high-strength steel structure applications, W40x294 has a stronger load-bearing capacity and is more suitable for occasions with particularly high requirements for structural stability and strength.
