This is a Galvanized Steel A992 / A123 12'' x 4’’ x 16# x 20' Wide Flange Beam.
The "#" of the Beam means the Weight Per Foot in Pounds. When multiplied by the length, it will give you the total weight of the channel.
W-beams, or wide flange beams, are stout, sturdy beams with wide flanges that are positioned perpendicularly to the web of the material giving them their characteristic shape and distinguishing them from I-beams. They’re frequently used as reinforcements in bridges, commercial buildings, and residential structures and can be fabricated from Black Steel, or Galvanized Steel. Because of the wide flanges on the top and bottom, builders can more easily distribute heavy weight along the top of the beams without putting too much stress on the supports directly below. Along with offering superior weight distribution capabilities, they also have a better strength-to-weight ratio than square beams.
A992 standard covers components used in building frames, structures, and bridges, especially rolled steel structural components. This steel is comprised of a mixture of elements, including chrome, copper, vanadium, molybdenum, and nickel.
ASTM A123 Standard Specification for Zinc (Hot-Dip Galvanized) Coatings on Iron and Steel Products covers the requirements for galvanizing by the hot-dip process on iron and steel products made from rolled, pressed, and forged shapes, castings, plates, bars, and strips.
Wide Flange Beam are uniquely measured by the Depth of Section x Flange Width x Flange Thickness x Web Thickness.
This Beam can be custom cut to lengths of your choice, please click "add cuts" to customize the exact measurements you need.
