Wide Flange Beam W14x22 A572-50 Carbon Steel

A572-50 steel beam is widely used in buildings, bridges and other infrastructure projects due to its good strength, weldability and durability.

W14x22 structural steel beam is a specific type of American standard H-beam, where "W" stands for wide flange steel, "14" means its nominal depth is 14 inches (actual dimensions may vary slightly), and "22" means the weight per foot of length is about 22 pounds.

Due to the high strength and good weldability of A572-50 h beam section, W14x22 beam steel is suitable for a variety of building structures, including but not limited to: beams and columns of multi-story buildings; frame structures of industrial plants; secondary load-bearing members in bridge construction.

Processing and installation of A572-50 W14x22 h steel profile

Processing: Conventional cutting, drilling and welding operations can be performed.
Welding: Easy to weld, GNEE will strictly follow proper preheating and post-treatment procedures to avoid welding cracks.
Surface treatment: To enhance corrosion resistance, GNEE h beam profile will be galvanized or other anti-corrosion coatings.
