Carbon Steel Beam

S shapes are designated by the letter s followed by the nominal depth in inches and the weight in pounds per foot.

Carbon steel beam.

A tee beam is a steel profile that is not typically made at the mill. The idea of strengthening a steel beam with carbon fiber is not new. Available in two configurations the most popular being the wide flange steel beam aka h beam or w beam with non tapered flanges. From cookware to chemical processing equipment 304 stainless steel is a good all around choice for a wide range of applications.

Steel beams commonly termed an i beam because of its shape beams provide great load bearing support when used horizontally or standing as columns. Larger steel tees are produced by splitting beams most commonly wide flange beams but occasionally i beams. It s widely fabricated into parts that don t require high strength. Carbon steel from continental steel tube.

Multipurpose 304 stainless steel. Carbon beams offer excellent support in load bearing applications particularly those requiring welding bolting or riveting such as construction supports in commercial and residential projects and cargo trailer manufacturing.
