European Standard H Beam
European Standard H-Beams are manufactured in strict compliance with EN 10365 (for cross-sectional geometry) and EN 10025 (for steel material). Characterized by wide, thick flanges with perfectly parallel inner and outer surfaces, their "H"-like shape provides excellent moments of inertia about both principal axes. They are primarily categorized into three series: HEA (Light Series), HEB (Medium Series), and HEM (Heavy Series), offering a complete range of high-precision structural solutions from light buildings to heavy industrial projects. |

Key Advantages & Selection Guide
1. Stringent European Quality & Global Acceptance
Full compliance with European norms, tight dimensional tolerances (EN 10034), and fully traceable material properties (EN 10204 3.1/3.2 Certificates).
CE Marked in accordance with the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR 305/2011), ensuring market access across Europe and other regions recognizing EN standards.
2. Unmatched Structural Versatility
HEA Series: Best strength-to-weight ratio for bending, ideal for floor beams, roof beams, and platform girders.
HEB Series: The universal "all-rounder" with balanced moments of inertia, widely used for both beams and columns in framed structures.
HEM Series: Offers the largest section modulus and smallest slenderness ratio, designed for high-rise building core columns and heavy industrial columns.
3. Superior Seismic & Fire Performance
Available in high-toughness grades like S355J2/K2 for seismic design requirements.
Compatible with fire protection materials, suitable for fire engineering design per EN 13381.
Typical Applications
| Sector | Recommended Series | Typical Use | Reason |
| Commercial & Office Buildings | HEB, HEA | Frame Columns, Primary Beams, Transfer Girders | HEB for column stability, HEA for economical floor spans. |
| Industrial Plants & Warehouses | HEA, HEB | Truss Chords, Crane Beams, Stanchions | HEA for light roofing, HEB for crane beams and central columns. |
| Bridge Engineering | HEB, HEM | Plate Girder Bridges, Pier Supports | HEB for small/medium spans, HEM for high-stress zones at piers. |
| Energy & Infrastructure | HEM, HEB | Power Plant Structures, Conveyor Gantries, Towers | HEM for heavy equipment loads, HEB for secondary framing. |
| Multi-Story Car Parks | HEB | Load-Bearing Columns, Long-Span Beams | Balances axial capacity for columns and bending resistance for beams efficiently. |
