S355JR And 355J0 Universal Beam
Products Description
The UB 457×191×161 Universal Beam manufactured from S355JR or S355J0 structural steel is a heavy-duty steel H-beam section widely used in large structural frameworks, bridges, and industrial buildings.

S355JR And 355J0 Universal Beam
Produced according to EN 10025-2 structural steel standard, this beam provides a minimum yield strength of 355 MPa and excellent structural reliability for load-bearing applications.
Compared with lighter sections, the 457×191×161 UB beam offers higher bending capacity and stiffness, making it suitable for long-span structural members and high-load engineering projects.
S355JR vs S355J0 – Impact Toughness Difference
Both grades belong to the S355 structural steel family, but their impact test temperature determines the environments where they are used.
| Grade | Impact Test Temperature | Impact Energy | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| S355JR | +20°C | ≥27 J | Standard structural engineering |
| S355J0 | 0°C | ≥27 J | Structures in cooler climates |
The lower test temperature of S355J0 ensures better toughness in moderate cold environments or structures exposed to dynamic loads.
