I-Profiles overview

Double T-beams, also known as I-beams, are essential components in modern construction technology. These steel profiles are characterized by their characteristic I-shape, which offers both stability and lightness. The shape allows for optimal distribution of loads, making it ideal for use in structures, bridges, high-rise buildings and industrial buildings. The use of I-beams offers numerous advantages, including high load capacity, flexibility and efficiency in construction.

Technical specifications

  • Materials: Often made of structural steel S235JR (W. No. 1.0038) or S355J2

  • Dimensions: Vary depending on area of ​​application. Typical sizes range from 80mm to 1000mm in height and 46mm to 300mm in width

  • Weight: The weight of I-beams depends on their dimensions and materials. For example, an I-beam measuring 100 x 55 x 4.1 x 5.7 mm weighs approximately 8.1 kg/m

Benefits and Applications

Advantages

  1. High load capacity: The I-shape allows heavy loads to be carried without the structure losing stability.

  2. Material efficiency: The steel construction reduces the overall weight of the structure, reducing transportation and installation costs.

  3. Versatility: I-beams can be used in various construction projects, from residential buildings to bridges and high-rise buildings.

Applications

  • Construction industry: Used in load-bearing structures such as buildings, bridges and towers.

  • Mechanical engineering: Used in cranes and other heavy machinery where high stability is required.

  • Industrial facilities: Ideal for the construction of factory halls and warehouses where large spans and high load-bearing capacity are required.

Manufacturing and processing

I-beams are typically hot rolled. In a few exceptions, they can also be created using laser welding. This procedure we i. d. Typically used for I-beams made of stainless steel. Manufacturing lengths typically vary between 5,800 mm and 6,200 mm, but can be customized upon customer request
