Mild Steel Beam
MS Beam are of two types-
- I-Beam : It is represented by dimensions of Web & Flange
- H-Beam :Another difference in I-beam & H-Beam is that in I-Beam, size of Web is greater than the size of Flange.
Wider Flange Parallel Beam or WPB or HE as it often knows are wider sections available in Parallel Flange Beams. These find application in various Heavy Structural Fabrication works across the country and the vast range availability has reduced the need of fabricating the beams in house by the customers. Their high Load bearing capacity and reliability have helped it find its usage in various applications.
Parallel Flange Beams and Column Sections are cost-effective and provide design flexibility. These Parallel Flange Beams & Columns enable complex fabrications in high volumes due to inherent functional advantages of these sections. When used under bending load, steel savings between 10-25% are achieved, as beams of lower sectional weight can be used.
Applications: They are extensively used in construction of multi-storied buildings, bridges, utility buildings, car parking lots, refineries, airports, flyovers, metro rail projects, cement, steel plants and industrial sheds and structures, material handling systems, shopping malls, power plants and stadiums
