Wide Parallel Flange Beams, also known as WPB Beams, arestructural steel elements with broad flanges that are parallel to one another.These beams are designed especially for uses where great strength, stability,and bending resistance are necessary. Because of their exceptional load-bearingcapacity and adaptability, they are a favored option for industrial,infrastructural, and construction projects.
Â
Important Features
Broad Flange Style: permits even load distribution andimproves structural stability.
High Capacity to Support Loads: Perfect for large-scalebuildings that need to support both horizontal and vertical loads.
Versatility: It provides flexibility in design andconstruction because it may be used as both beams and columns.
Accurate Engineering: produced in accordance withinternational standards such as ASTM A992, EN 10025, and IS 808, guaranteeingquality and consistency.
Resistance to Corrosion : For longevity in various settings,stainless steel, painted steel, and galvanized steel versions are available.

Specifications
Grades of Materials: ASTM A36, SS304, SS316, E250, E350,S275JR, and S355JR.
Dimensions: Depth (h): Based on the application, ranges from100 to 1000 mm.
For the best structural performance, the flange width (b)should be proportionate to the depth.
Flange thickness (tf) and web thickness (tw) are designed tomeet particular load specifications.
Length: 6m, 9m, and 12m are standard lengths; however,custom lengths are also possible.
Final Choices: Hot-dip galvanized, coated, or bare steel fora longer lifespan.
