What is the difference between IPE and HEA?

H-beam: An H-beam has a thicker center web, which means it is often

stronger. I-beam: An I-beam often has a thinner center web, which means it
is often not able to take as much force as an h-beam.

The European wide flange beam represent a broad product line of bar-shaped building
elements with parallel internal surface of the flanges and dimensions according to EN
10365. Their product tolerances are characterized through EN 10034: 1993.

A stainless steel beam can be either built up by welding together its single components
or it is hot rolled or extruded. Upper and lower horizontal part of the beam is called
flange, the connecting vertical middle part is called web. The most common version in
that product group is the HEB series followed by the HEA series.

Wide flanged stainless steel beams are used in commerce and industry but also in
machinery and equipment building. The use of stainless steel profiles is characterized
by a high flexibility of composition and a fast and cost reduced construction (through
the possibility of prefabrication in the steel production). Stainless steel profiles are
produced mainly from scrap and can be recycled again after utilization so new
resources can be conserved

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THE WORD EN IN THE

EN STEELS?

The meaning of EN is ‘European standard’ or ‘Euronorm’.

It has replaced the term BS (i.e., British Standard).
In the European Union, its standard is mainly used for business.
The first two words in the En steels name are the European steel standard,
After that, the number is the standard number.

H Steel beams HEA/HEB are a very commonly used type of steel profile. Beams,
otherwise called “H” sections, continental beams, or HEA/HEB, are available in
multiple material grades, the most common are EN 10025 S275 and S355. H
sections look similar to I sections, but the flange is wider.

What is difference between HEA and HEB beam?

HEB sections Compared to the HEA beam, the HEB beam has a greater load capacity and the flange is somewhat heavier and
wider than in the HEA beam. The flange width is equal to the height up to 300 mm.

What does IPE stand for in steel beams?

IPE – European I Beams Home | Products | Product Catalog | Stainless Steel Beams | IPE – European I Beams. IPE is the short
form for bar shaped building elements or beams with parallel internal surface of the flanges and dimensions according to EN
10365. Their product tolerances are characterized through EN 10034: 1993 …

S shapes, W shapes, and H shapes

In this AISC illustration, the S beam is located on the far left. The W beam is
in the center. And the H-beam is on the right.

S-beams
Examining the S beam (sometimes referred to as the American Standard
Beam) you’ll notice that tapered legs is one its main design differences.
Where W- and H-beams have even, blocky angles where the legs meet the
web, S-beams are rounded. And they are always rounded. Its slope of 2:12
(approximately 16.67%) on the inner flange surfaces is one of the key
characteristics of S-beams.

The width of the legs is another key characteristic for S-beams, as they are
narrower than both W- and H-beams. Lastly, S-beams are available in the
smallest size range. S-beams are most commonly found in the construction
and shipbuilding industries.

Kloeckner Metals stocks A36 S beam, A572-50 S beam, and A992 S beam.
W-beams
The W in its name refers to “wide flanges.” The main difference between W
beams is that the inner and outer flange surfaces are parallel. Furthermore,
the overall beam must have a depth that is at least equal to the flange width.
Usually, its depth is significantly greater than its width.

One of the advantages of W beams is that the flanges are thicker than the
web. This aids in resisting bend stress.

Compared with H- or S-beams, W beams have many more standard sections

to choose from. Given they have a greater range of sizes (smallest is W4x14
and the largest is W44x355) they are also considered the most commonly
used beam in modern day construction worldwide.

Kloeckner Metals proudly stocks A992 W beams, A709-50 W beams, A572-

50 W beams.

H-beams
H shapes are the largest and heaviest beams available and can tolerate
larger weight loads. They are sometimes called HP, H-Piles, or bearing piles,
which stems from their use in underground foundation support (load bearing
columns) for skyscrapers and other large buildings.

Similar to W-beams, H-beams have inner and outer flange surfaces that run
parallel. However, in H-beams the width of the flanges is approximately equal
with the beam depth. The beam also displays an even thickness throughout.

Beams serve as the basis for support in many constructions and engineering
projects. They are just one structural steel shape, but with various beam
types available, it’s good to be able to tell them apart.

What do h-beams, w-beams, and s-beams have in

common?
Forget the differences between H-beams, W-beams, and S-beams. What do
they have in common?

H-beams, W-beams, and S-beams are all types of beams. Beams in general
are chosen for their capacity to bend under high stress rather than buckle.
Most beams use structural steel or high-strength, low-alloy steel fabricated
by a structural steel fabricator. You’ll find different kinds of beams in a wide
range of applications, including building frames in construction, bridges, and
general structural purposes, with the type of beam determined by the specific
application.
