The steel beam is one of the steel profile subgroups that is used in the construction industry. As you know, construction is one of the most basic industries in the country. This is the reason why the profile and below it the iron beam is considered one of the important products. So that the increase in the price of this product has had a great impact on the increase in the construction rate. In this article, we introduce you to the types of iron beams and tips for buying them.
It goes without saying that a beam is a heavy weight profile branch that is used for construction. This type of profile can easily withstand a large part of the force resulting from shear force and bending moment. They use hot rolling to produce iron beams. Two types of normal and hash beams are produced with different steps and each has its own characteristics.
The beam is the most used for building and is divided into different types based on width and wing.
The skeleton of the building is built using this product, and then other building materials are mounted on it. Increasing building resistance is the most important reason for using this profile.
Beams are used to create columns, trusses, beams, stairs, etc. This product is very similar to a gutter and includes two parts, the body and the wing. The main and middle part of it is called the soul and the side edges of it are called wings. Since the use of iron beam in construction is high, it increases the price of this product and it has become one of the most expensive construction materials.
The beams available in the market are classified into different types. Each of these products is used for a specific purpose. If you plan to build, it is necessary to know the types of soil. This product is classified based on several criteria. For example, it is divided based on production standard or abbreviation and size.
Iron beams are often used in construction, which are used in different parts of this industry. In addition, there are different types of iron beams, and each type is used for certain parts of building according to its shape, thickness, weight, and strength. The most important application of iron beam is:
One of the most important applications of iron beam is to use the skeleton part of the building. The skeletonization of the building is done in order to create sufficient resistance and strength in the building. Four types of iron beams are used for the construction of the skeleton, which include wide wing iron beam (H), European iron beam, semi-wide iron beam and honeycomb.
Before the required beams are purchased, an engineer first designs the frame of the building. Then, according to the need, the type of beam is purchased and used.
Another use of iron beams is to make column floor plates and steel plates. These plates are of different thicknesses and the type of beam is used according to their thickness. One of the advantages of using an iron beam for the bottom of the column is the possibility of drilling, making holes and torching when connecting screws or cutting. Column soles are used to connect the corner to the column and increase the strength of the building.
In fact, the corner and column can be mounted on the bottom of the column to resist them. A large part of the load of the building is on the column.
To increase the strength of the building, you definitely need columns. In this case, these columns can be created in the building with the help of wide wing beam (H). Now, if you are going to build a multi-story building, you definitely need more columns. At the same time, a part of the column must be pushed out from the ceiling so that you can connect the column of the next floor to it. Otherwise, you will not be able to build the next floor.
Making concrete structures with the help of concrete and rebar is another way to make columns.
One of the parts of the building is the beam or the horizontal member of the steel structure that is placed on the roof of the building. The main beams and main beams must be connected on the columns. Also, with the help of a plate, these beams are connected to each other to increase the strength of the building.
Shah Tir is also connected to the column. In this way, it is connected to the column from one side with the help of a corner along the wing of the iron beam. Beams are used to support each floor and their existence is necessary in the steel frame. All the main beams and main beams are made from the same iron beams.
In addition to the main beams used in the steel structure skeleton, there are also middle beams, which, of course, are less important than the main beam. However, they help a lot to increase the tolerance and resistance of the building. The middle poles are placed at the top and bottom of the main beams and main beams. in such a way that they are locked together to increase their resistance to pressure. The middle poles are prepared using the same beams.
In building construction, long and narrow poles are used, which are placed on the main beam. Macrame beams have a seating part that they place on the main beam to increase the strength of the building.
Truss refers to parts that are angled and are used to build the roof of sheds, warehouses, etc. To make the truss, special beams are placed next to each other. The beams used for terraces and trusses are not narrow and you can use them for any type of roof.
Based on this classification, the existing beams in the market are divided into 4 types, which are: IPE, INP, IPB and CPE.
IPE beam is one of the most common types of beams in the market. This product is produced both in Iran and in European countries. Its shape is similar to the English letter I. The thickness of its wings is such that the manufacturer is not able to change it. Most of the iron beams produced in Iran and European countries are of the same type.
From the characteristics of the IPE iron beam, we can mention the same and uniform thickness of the wings at the beginning and end. Of course, you have to look at it from both ends of the beam to notice this characteristic.
Most of the buildings that are built in Iran need this type of iron beam. For this reason, it has more sales in the Iranian market. This product is between 8 and 16 meters long. Its height includes 80, 100 and 600 mm. IPE beams start with a width of 46 mm and continue up to 220 mm.
Another type of iron beam available in the market is called INP. This product has a large distance between the wing and the girder, and at the same time, the wing is less thick. This product is designed in the shape of I and is mostly produced in Russia and China. Of course, Iran is also one of the countries producing INP tirah.
From the characteristics of this product, we should mention the thinness of the wing at the beginning of the beam. The further you go towards the end of the product, the thicker the wing becomes. In fact, if you look at it from the beam head, you will notice a gentle slope in the thickness of the wings.
Most of the products that enter the Iranian market from foreign countries are produced by countries such as Korea, Germany, Spain and Poland. However, INP beams enter the Iranian market from China and Russia.
The products produced by China and Russia are very similar to IPE beams and therefore make it a little difficult for the customer to distinguish. Your building plan may be based on INP, but mistakenly use Chinese and Russian IPE products
Another type of iron beam available in the market is called IPB, whose structure is similar to the letter H. This product has a wider width and the length of the pillow is longer than IPE Tirahan. H wide wing beams or IPB have a long wing length, which is recognized by this sign.
If you see the Latin letter V (IPBv) next to the name of the beam, it means that the weight of the product is high. If you see the letter L next to IPB, it means that the beam is light.
When you cut and reweld the CPE strip, the profile is completed, forming a honeycomb or hexagonal shape. For the production of honeycomb tiles, hollow holes are considered, which are very similar to the same bee nest. That is why CPE is also called honeycomb.
This type of beam has a high bending resistance, which has more tolerance compared to the similar rolled beam due to its low weight. Honeycomb beams with a height of 18 cm can be increased up to 27 cm.
There is another criterion for classifying the beams available in the market. In fact, the products that most customers are familiar with are based on size. Therefore, it can be said that the types of beams are:
One of the sizes of Tirahan available in the market is known as Tirahan 12. This product has a weight between 10.4 and 26.8 kg per meter. This type of beam is widely used in the construction industry. The same iron beam is used to cover the roof, beam or put in the column.
12-gauge iron is also produced in Iran, and there are many brands that market the same product.
Another type of iron beam in terms of size is the 14 iron beam, which is the most widely used type of iron beam in the Iranian market. Its weight is between 12.9 and 33 kg per meter. It is used for trusses, soles and roof covering. 14 iron beams are produced in all Iranian steel factories.
Size 16 can be mentioned among other widely used iron beams in Iran. This product weighs between 15 and 41 kg per meter. It is used for honeycomb bridge, roof covering and truss construction.
Another one of the most popular Tirahans available in the market is size 18. This product weighs about 18 to 49 kg per meter. Like 14 and 16 beams, this product is widely used in the construction industry.
If you are looking for a high weight and resistance beam, we recommend the 20 beam. This product, with a larger structure, also has high resistance. Its weight is between 22 and 60 kg per meter. This beam has more weight and strength than other sizes and is used in large structures that need more strength. The weight of this product is between 22 and 60 kg.
Construction today is very different from what it was in the past. Today, steel structures and profiles are considered as one of the most important building materials. While in the past it was wood that played the most important role in building construction. The reasons for using steel beams in construction are:
At the same time, manufacturers are currently offering a variety of products to the market. Prefabricated parts make construction easier. Of course, before you buy a beam, you must first have an engineering estimate of it. The construction of a shed, workshop or building has become easier with the use of steel frames and prefabricated profiles.
Although the use of these products comes with many advantages. But it also has disadvantages, which include:
In this case, you should paint the beam before using it. Using anti-rust on the product makes it resistant to moisture. Therefore, the cost is avoided again. In general, steel alloy undergoes corrosion and decay in front of oxygen and moisture. Beams are not exempt from this rule.
Another disadvantage of the beam is its buckling nature. So you can’t bend it. To connect several metal pieces together, you need to use a welding connection. This case is considered one of the most basic disadvantages of iron beams. For this reason, during construction, especially in the skeleton part, engineers do not have enough control over the connection of parts, and this work requires a lot of time and precision.
Another disadvantage of iron beams is not having high resistance against high temperature. If the temperature of the metal frame reaches 600 degrees Celsius, the balance of the building will be disturbed and the building will collapse. Needless to say, this happens after big accidents and fires. The temperature of the building does not reach this value by itself.
Many brands in Iran are active in the field of iron beam production. Beam manufacturers in Iran offer products such as IPE, IPN and IPB beams in the market. One of the most important steel production factories in the country is known as “Zob Ahan Isfahan”.
We can also mention Arian Steel Factory, Tabriz Pure Steel, Benab Steel, Mahan Industry Profile Complex, Iranian Alborz Steel, Iran Steel National Industrial Group and Khuzestan Steel Factory. Fortunately, the variety of Iranian products has increased in recent years. So that for any part of construction that you need a special beam, you can also buy its Iranian sample.
The price of iron beam is changing every day. In fact, this product is largely affected by currency price fluctuations. If we say that the steel sector is changing every day like gold, we are not exaggerating. On the other hand, the high volume of demand in the market has also affected this product. Sanctions are one of the factors that have greatly affected the price of steel beams.
In general, there is no specific criterion for determining the price of iron beams in the market. Dimensions, type of product and even the quality of the manufacturing plant have a great impact in determining the price of iron beams. The world price of iron market, transportation costs, the amount of demand for this product and the price of stone also affect the price of iron beams.
The price of some of these products is branched. For example, we can mention the honeycomb beam, which is priced in the form of branches in the market. Some other iron beams are kidney shaped. For example, the price of the H beam (wide wing) is in kilograms.
If you intend to build, it is certainly necessary to have enough information about the beam, its types, price, etc. Pay attention to these things when buying iron beams:
The last word
What we have said in this article is a good guide for all those who are interested in construction. Anyway, if you intend to build a building and the steel frame plan has been drawn by an engineer, you should go to the market to get iron beams. Knowing the types of iron beams as well as the use of each type will help you a lot in the optimal use of this product.
