I-Beams & H-Beams
I-Beams (also known as Universal Beams or Standard I-Beams) and H-Beams (Wide Flange Beams) are two core hot-rolled sections in structural steel engineering. Both feature an "I"-shaped cross-section, achieving high structural efficiency through optimized material distribution. The key difference lies in the flange design: I-Beams have tapered, narrower flanges, while H-Beams have parallel, wider flanges. This fundamental distinction dictates their load-bearing capacity, stability, and ideal applications. |
RUNYING Steel Group is a leading Tangshan-based manufacturer and global exporter of high-strength Hot-Rolled Steel H-Beams and I-Beams (Universal Beams & Columns). Manufactured in compliance with global structural standards (GB, ASTM, EN, JIS), our structural steel sections offer optimal section modulus, superior bending resistance, and exceptional load-bearing performance for heavy construction, bridge engineering, and industrial framing.

· H-Beam (Wide Flange Beam / Universal Column):
Features parallel inner and outer flange surfaces with wider flanges. Provides superior moment of inertia about both principal axes, making it ideal for multi-story building columns, heavy machinery foundations, and long-span bridge girders.
· I-Beam (Universal Beam / Tapered Flange Beam):
Features tapered inner flanges with a narrower flange width. Material is concentrated in the vertical web, delivering maximum strong-axis bending efficiency at minimal weight per meter—ideal for roof purlins, crane runways, and light floor beams.
To accelerate on-site installation for international projects, RUNYING Steel Group offers full-service steel beam processing prior to shipment:
· Precision Cutting & Beveling: Cut-to-length tolerance within ±2mm with prepared weld bevels.
· Hole Punching & Drilling: Automated CNC drilling for base plates, flange splice connections, and gusset plates per shop drawings.
· Surface Preparation & Coating: Automatic shot blasting (Sa 2.5 grade), anti-corrosive shop priming, or heavy hot-dip galvanizing for harsh marine environments.
· Building Infrastructure: Structural steel framing, multi-story building columns, floor joists, and roof trusses.
· Industrial Facilities: Crane runway beams, heavy equipment bases, piperacks, and warehouse frames.
· Transportation & Bridges: Highway bridge girders, railway support structures, ship hulls, and marine piling.
· Energy & Utilities: Solar ground-mounting support piles, offshore oil platform modules, and power plant structures.
· ISO 9001 Certified Quality Control: Strict dimensional measurement checks, chemical composition verification, and EN 10204 3.1 MTCs supplied with every shipment.
· Direct Tangshan Factory Rates: Sourced directly from China's primary steel production hub, eliminating middleman markups.
· Seaworthy Export Logistics: Professional bundle strapping, thread protectors, and efficient containerization or breakbulk shipping via Tianjin Port.
