NPB Beams

NPB Beams (Narrow Parallel Flange Beams)

NPB Beams, short for Narrow Parallel Flange Beams, are a type of European standard I-beam (EN 10210/EN 10219) commonly used in structural engineering and construction. These beams are characterized by narrower flange widths compared to other I-beam variants like HEA or HEB, but with parallel flanges that ensure uniform strength distribution and ease of connection in structural frameworks.

Key Features of NPB Beams

• Narrow Parallel Flanges: Flanges are parallel and narrower, making them ideal where space constraints exist or a slimmer profile is needed.

• Efficient Load Distribution: Offers good strength-to-weight ratio for both axial and bending loads.

• Consistent Cross-Section: Uniformity in size simplifies fabrication and alignment in large-scale structures.

• Versatile Usage: Suitable for beams, columns, and frames in steel structures.

Applications of NPB Beams

• Building Structures: Load-bearing beams, columns, and trusses in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

• Bridges & Flyovers: Used in frameworks and support structures.

• Industrial Racking & Shelving Systems

• Machinery Frames and Platforms

• Structural Steel Fabrication Projects
