Product Description
Universal Beams (UB), commonly referred to as I-beams or H-beams, are essential structural components widely used in construction and engineering projects. They are designed with parallel flanges and a central web for maximum load-bearing capacity and structural efficiency. Universal Beams are versatile, offering excellent strength, stability, and durability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications.
Key Features
-
Robust Construction
- Manufactured from high-quality steel, ensuring durability and reliability.
-
Parallel Flange Design
- Allows for easier connection and fabrication during construction.
-
High Load Capacity
- The design efficiently distributes loads, reducing stress and strain on the structure.
-
Standardized Dimensions
- Produced according to BS EN 10365, IS 808, or ASTM A6 standards.
-
Corrosion Resistance
- Available with coatings such as galvanization for extended service life.
