S355NL/ML HEA120 HEB120 Hot Rolled Steel H-Beams

The dimensions of HEA120 beam steel are usually 114mm waist height, 120mm leg width, 5mm waist thickness, 8mm leg thickness, and weigh about 19.9 kg per meter.

The dimensions of HEB120 h beam steel are usually 120mm waist height, 120mm leg width, 6.5mm waist thickness, 11mm leg thickness, and weigh about 26.7 kg per meter.

Application comparison of HEA120 h section steel and HEB120 steel h beam

Sectional characteristics: The section characteristics of HEA120 structural h beam are closer to equal-width flange H-beam, which can better disperse stress and improve the stability of the structure when subjected to force. The section characteristics of HEB120 are more inclined to wide flange H-beam, and have higher bearing capacity when subjected to pressure.

Application fields: Both HEA120 and HEB120 are widely used in construction, bridges, machinery and other fields. In bridge structures that need to withstand large bending moments and shear forces, HEB120 has more advantages due to its thicker web; while in building structures that need to disperse stress and improve stability, HEA120 may be more suitable.

Structural stability and bearing capacity: HEB120 has more advantages in bearing bending moments and shear forces due to its thicker web, and is suitable for structures that need to withstand large axial pressure. HEA120, due to its equal-width flange section characteristics, performs better in improving structural stability.

Material properties: Both are made of high-strength steel with high yield strength and tensile strength, but the HEB120 h-shaped steel has a thicker web, which is more advantageous when subjected to complex loading conditions.
