H beams, I beams and channels for wholesale fabrication orders
Wide-flange H sections, IPE and IPN beams, and American C and MC channels are available as full lengths or prepared pieces. Compare section dimensions and nominal weights below, then combine the selected profiles with cutting, coating or fabrication in one material order.
For H- and I-section dimensions, compare the profiles in our steel beam range.
| Product family | Published series | Material specification | Length options |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wide-flange H sections | HE A, HE B and HE M | ASTM A36 product range | 6 m, 12 m and ordered cut lengths |
| I-section beams | IPE and IPN | ASTM A572 Grades 42, 50 and 55 | 6 m, 12 m and ordered cut lengths |
| American channels | C and MC | Material grade stated separately from ASTM A6/A6M requirements | 6 m and ordered lengths |

H sections, I beams and channels can share a delivery. Each profile keeps its own material grade and length, so a mixed order can serve one fabrication package.

| Section code | Depth (mm) | Flange width (mm) | Web (mm) | Flange (mm) | Nominal mass (kg/m) |

Dimensions and unit mass are nominal section-table values. HE and IPE identify the profile geometry; the steel grade is a separate selection.
| Section code | Nominal depth (in.) | Nominal weight (lb/ft) | Converted mass (kg/m) |
|---|---|---|---|
| C3 × 4.1 | 3.00 | 4.1 | 6.10 |
| MC6 × 12 | 6.00 | 12.0 | 17.86 |

In C3 × 4.1, C identifies the channel series, 3 is nominal depth in inches and 4.1 is nominal pounds per foot. The MC prefix identifies a different channel series. Metric mass is converted from the US designation at 1 lb/ft = 1.48816 kg/m and rounded to two decimals.
HE 200 A is 190 mm deep with a 10 mm flange; HE 200 B is 200 mm deep with a 15 mm flange. Their nominal masses are 42.3 and 61.3 kg/m. The letter changes the actual section, even when the nominal size is the same.
An IPE, IPN or US-series beam can have different flange width, web thickness and connection space. Compare the full geometry before changing the profile shown on the fabrication drawing.
C and MC are open channels with a web and two flanges on one side. Rectangular and square HSS have a closed cross section and different connection details. A material list that includes HSS can use our separate hollow-section range alongside these rolled members.
The open-section alternatives are listed in our steel channel range with their separate C, MC, UPN, UPE and JIS designations.
ASTM A36 is the carbon structural-steel specification in our H-section catalog. HE A, B and M describe geometry, independently of that material grade.
Our I-beam catalog lists ASTM A572 Grades 42, 50 and 55. The selected grade and applicable thickness limits govern the material requirement; welding procedures follow that steel and the intended service.
ASTM A6/A6M sets general requirements for rolled structural products; it is not a material grade. HE and IPE profiles use their metric dimensional series. Inspection applies the ordered standard and tolerance to the selected member rather than mixing rules from different series.
A US drawing may call for ASTM A992 or certification to more than one material specification. Those requirements remain explicit in the inquiry and returned quotation. An A36 or A572 catalogue description alone does not establish A992 or dual certification for a supplied heat.
H and I sections are supplied in the published 6 m or 12 m formats. American channels use their stated lengths. Full-length supply leaves cut planning with the receiving workshop.
Cut lengths, miters, welded details and bends follow the piece drawings. Prepared members carry part marks for assembly; the machining or fabrication work is priced separately from the raw section.
Bare hot-rolled sections retain mill scale. A primed order identifies the preparation and primer system, with any weld or connection areas that must remain clear. Primer selection follows the subsequent paint system and the fabrication sequence.
Galvanized orders include the coating scope for the finished member. Fabricated details need access for cleaning, immersion and drainage; enclosed joints and attached plates can change that design. We review these details with the coating sequence before releasing the work.
A 6 m HE 200 B length has a nominal steel mass of 367.8 kg: 6 m × 61.3 kg/m. Ten such lengths total 3,678 kg before coating and packaging. This calculation uses the published section mass, not a measured shipment weight.
One metric tonne is 1,000 kg; one US short ton is 2,000 lb, or approximately 907.185 kg. The quantity unit appears beside the price basis. Quotes in tonnes therefore retain the piece count and member length needed to compare the same order.
Our quotation identifies whether material is priced by nominal calculated mass, weighed mass or pieces. Cutting, fabrication and coating appear with their own scope. Packing-list weights separate the steel’s net weight from the packed gross weight.
Checks cover profile depth, flange width, web and flange thickness, length, straightness and the applicable shape tolerances.
Material records identify the specification, grade and heat, with the required chemistry and mechanical results. Bundle and cut-piece marks link the delivered steel to those records.
Surface inspection checks visible damage, coating coverage and any connection or weld areas specified to remain clear.
Cut lengths and miters follow the piece schedule. Welded or bent members also receive the inspections specified for the completed fabrication.
The published minimum for H sections and American channels is 5 metric tonnes. The listed dispatch period is 30–40 days after a 30% advance payment. Our quotation sets out the batch and dispatch schedule for each line, including I sections and processed pieces; ocean transit is a separate part of the delivery plan.
Members are strapped in bundles by profile and length, with timber supports for handling. Open flange edges and finished surfaces receive the protection required by the packing scope. The piece count and bundle weight follow the actual section mix rather than a fixed number of members per bundle.
Bundle labels carry the project item mark, profile and piece count. Full lengths and fabricated members remain separately identifiable for receiving and workshop allocation.
Yes. We keep the requested US section code and length units. A 20 ft finished length is 6.096 m, so it cannot be cut from a 6 m length. Proposed metric alternatives are shown separately.
The product price covers steel and the named preparation work. Structural design and erection are separate services; fabrication follows the approved drawings.
Yes. A mixed order can combine rolled members with separately specified hollow sections. Bundles identify the profile and material so the receiving team can allocate each item to the job.
Send your mixed section schedule, processing drawings and destination. We quote the material grades, profiles, lengths and quantities with fabrication, finish, weight basis and dispatch terms itemized.
