Types of steel beams in prefab metal workshop

Prefab metal workshop is a important part of modern industrial production, and their structures are mainly composed of steel beams. Steel beams not only bear the weight of the workshop, but also the weight of various equipment and staff, as well as the loads of natural factors such as wind and snow. Therefore, the type and selection of steel beams is of great significance to the stability and safety of the workshop.

Types of steel beams

I-beam

I-beam is a steel beam with an I-shaped cross-section. It is widely used in prefab metal workshop because of its reasonable cross-sectional shape, high load-bearing capacity and stiffness. I-beam beams are divided into two types: ordinary I-beams and light I-beams. Ordinary I-beams are mainly used to bear larger loads, while light I-beams are mainly used to bear smaller loads.

Channel beam

A channel beam is a steel beam with a channel-shaped cross-section that is shaped like a groove. Channel steel beams have high load-bearing capacity and stiffness, and also have good torsion resistance. In precast metal shops, channel beams are often used to withstand large torsional and bending loads.

H-shaped steel beam

H-shaped steel beam is a steel beam with an H-shaped cross-section, whose cross-sectional shape is similar to an “H”. H-shaped steel beams have high load-bearing capacity and stiffness, as well as good stability and torsion resistance. In prefabricated metal workshops, H-shaped steel beams are usually used when they bear larger loads and have larger spans.

Steel tube beam

A steel tube beam is a steel beam made of steel tubes with a circular or rectangular cross-section. Steel tube beams have high load-bearing capacity and stiffness, as well as good torsion resistance and stability. In prefab metal workshop, steel pipe beams are usually used to withstand larger loads and larger spans, and are often used as members in truss structures.

Steel beam selection

When selecting steel beams for prefabricated metal workshop, comprehensive considerations need to be made based on the actual conditions of the workshop. Factors that need to be considered include the span, height, load conditions, working environment, etc. of the workshop. At the same time, factors such as the material, processing accuracy, and surface treatment of the steel beams also need to be considered. For example, when selecting ordinary I-beams and light I-beams, factors such as their cross-sectional size and wall thickness need to be considered; when selecting channel steel beams, factors such as their cross-sectional size and notch depth need to be considered; when selecting H-shaped steel When selecting a beam, factors such as its cross-sectional size and flange width need to be considered; when selecting a steel tube beam, factors such as its diameter and wall thickness need to be considered. In addition, factors such as the connection method of the steel beams and the installation process also need to be considered.

The steel beams of prefab metal workshops are an important part of the workshop structure, and their type and selection are of great significance to the stability and safety of the workshop. When selecting steel beams, comprehensive considerations need to be made based on the actual conditions of the workshop, including span, height, load conditions, working environment, material, processing accuracy, surface treatment and other factors. Only by selecting the appropriate type of steel beam can the stability and safety of the workshop be ensured.
