FAQ
What is the 254 x 146 x 31KG Universal Beam used for?
This beam is commonly used in the construction of load-bearing frameworks, roof structures, mezzanines, and steel-framed buildings. Its strength and versatility make it suitable for commercial, industrial, and civil engineering applications.
What grade of steel is used for this universal beam?
The beam is made from S355J0 grade steel, which offers excellent mechanical strength, weldability, and impact resistance. It?s suitable for structural use in demanding environments.
Can the 254 x 146 x 31KG Universal Beam be cut to size?
Yes, custom cutting is available. You can specify the exact length required for your project to reduce on-site fabrication and waste.
Is this steel universal beam suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, though S355J0 steel performs well in structural applications, we recommend protective coatings or galvanisation for prolonged exposure to outdoor elements to prevent corrosion.
Does the universal beam conform to UK standards?
Yes, this beam complies with BSEN10025-2 standards, making it fully compliant with UK structural steel regulations for construction.
What is the difference between a universal beam and a universal column?
Universal beams (UBs) have a wider flange and are designed to carry horizontal loads, while universal columns (UCs) have nearly equal width and depth, making them ideal for vertical load-bearing.
