h section steel beam A36 W18x130 W18x143
W18x130 structural h beam (A36 material)
Theoretical weight: about 130 pounds per foot, which is about 193.7 kg/m in metric.
Flange width (bf): about 254 mm
Waist height (d): about 457 mm
Waist thickness (tw): about 15.1 mm
Flange thickness (tf): about 21.6 mm
Material grade: A36 steel h column is a common carbon steel structural steel with good weldability, processability and mechanical properties, and its yield strength is at least 36,000 psi (about 250 MPa).
Application range: Suitable for large buildings, bridges, heavy equipment foundations and other projects that require high-strength support structures.
W18x143 H-beam (A36 material)
Theoretical weight: about 143 pounds per foot, which is about 213.1 kg/m in metric.
Flange width (bf): slightly wider than W18x130, the specific value varies slightly according to the manufacturer.
Waist height (d): also about 457 mm.
Waist thickness (tw): may be slightly thicker than W18x130 to support the additional weight.
Flange thickness (tf): may also be thicker to provide stronger support.
Material grade: the same A36 h beam structure, with similar good mechanical properties and processing characteristics.
Application range: Due to its heavier weight and larger cross-sectional size, the W18x143 h section beam provides higher strength and load-bearing capacity, suitable for more demanding structural requirements, such as the core tube of high-rise buildings, long-span bridges or other engineering projects requiring extremely high strength.
Material properties and advantages of A36 h section steel
A36 h shaped steel is widely used due to its good comprehensive properties, including but not limited to good formability, weldability and moderate strength. These H-shaped steels are very suitable for the construction industry due to their stable cross-sectional shape and strong bearing capacity, which can effectively reduce the deadweight of the structure while improving the safety and stability of the structure.
