W21x111 A36/A572GR50 h beam profile steel
h shaped beam material description
A36 h section beam: This is one of the most commonly used carbon steel structural steels with good mechanical properties and weldability. The minimum yield strength of A36 steel is 36,000 psi (about 250 MPa), and the tensile strength is between 58,000 and 80,000 psi (about 400 to 550 MPa).
A572GR50 h shaped beam: This is a high-strength low-alloy structural steel that is a grade in the ASTM A572 standard. GR50 means that its minimum yield strength is 50,000 psi (about 345 MPa). Compared with A36, it provides higher strength and is equally easy to weld and form.
Specific parameters of W21x111 H-beam (based on A36/A572GR50 material)
Section height: about 21 inches (actual values may vary slightly)
Section width: varies according to specific specifications
Web thickness: determines the load-bearing capacity of the steel
Flange thickness: affects the overall stability and connection method of the steel
Unit weight: about 111 pounds per foot (about 165.2 kg/m)
Application areas of W21x111 h beam wide flange
Due to its large size and high load-bearing capacity, W21x111wf steel beam is suitable for the following occasions:
Heavy building structures: such as high-rise buildings, industrial plants, etc., can withstand large loads.
Bridge construction: as main beams or other key load-bearing components.
Infrastructure projects: including but not limited to large public facilities such as airports and stadiums.
