Tianjin Xiangliyuan Steel specializes in manufacturing premium structural steel beams, including H-beam steel and I-beam steel, engineered for superior performance across construction, industrial, and infrastructure projects. As a trusted steel beam supplier in China, we deliver unmatched customization, rigorous quality control, and transparent business practices—ensuring every beam meets exact specifications without compromise.
H-Beam vs. I-Beam: Key Differences at a Glance
Here’s a quick comparison of how these critical structural components stack up:
| Feature | H-Beam Steel | I-Beam Steel |
|---|---|---|
| Structural Shape | Wide, parallel flanges; uniform thickness | Tapered, sloped flanges; variable thickness |
| Flange Design | Wider and thicker | Narrower and thinner |
| Web Thickness | Thicker central web | Thinner central web |
| Load Capacity | Higher bidirectional strength | Unidirectional strength |
| Typical Uses | Heavy-duty columns, bridges, high-rises | Beams, light frames, support trusses |
| Span Capability | Up to 100 meters | 10–30 meters |
Why Choose H-Beam Steel?
H-beam steel (or wide flange beam) features parallel flanges and a thicker web, delivering exceptional load-bearing capacity in all directions. Its design optimizes weight distribution, making it ideal for:
Heavy construction: Columns in high-rise buildings, bridge piers, and industrial facilities where multidirectional force resistance is critical .
Custom configurations: Flanges and webs can be tailored to different thicknesses/grades (e.g., carbon steel, stainless steel, HSLA), reducing weight while maintaining strength .
Long spans: Supports projects requiring spans up to 100 meters.
Our Capabilities:
Size range: Web height: 50–700 mm; Flange width: 100–500 mm.
Material flexibility: Combine different steel grades (e.g., Q235B, Q345B, SS400) for cost-weight optimization
Advantages of I-Beam Steel
I-beam steel (or universal beam) offers a lightweight yet robust solution for projects prioritizing efficiency and ease of installation:
Economical for lighter loads: Ideal for residential frameworks, mezzanine floors, and conveyor systems .
Faster construction: Unified rolled sections simplify fabrication and reduce assembly time.
Our Precision Manufacturing:
Tailored dimensions: Web height, flange width, and length (6–15 m) customized to your blueprints.
Certified quality: ISO, ASTM, and GB-compliant production with RoHS-compliant finishes (galvanized, painted, or black) .
