What is a W10x22 beam?

In the United States, steel I-beams are commonly specified using the depth and weight of the beam. For example, a “W10x22” beam is approximately 10 in (25 cm) in depth (nominal height of the I-beam from the outer face of one flange to the outer face of the other flange) and weighs 22 lb/ft (33 kg/m).

What is web thickness?

Web thickness is another important factor that determines end mill rigidity and size of the chip pockets. The web thickness of a solid end mills is usually about 60% of the diameter. As the web thickness increases, the cross section widens and heightens rigidity.

What is a flange and web?

The flanges are the top and bottom (horizontal) members of the structure, while the web is the vertical member that holds the two flanges together. Each of the three members that make up the beam are flat and straight, with radius inside corners where each connects.

What is C-channel used for?

The structural channel, also known as a C-channel or Parallel Flange Channel (PFC), is a type of (usually structural steel) beam, used primarily in building construction and civil engineering.

What is WF beam?

Wide Flange beam is a structural steel section on which the flanges are not tapered, but have equal thickness from the tip to the web and are at right angles at the web.

Why is it called Aw beam?

An I-beam, also known as H-beam (for universal column, UC), w-beam (for “wide flange”), universal beam (UB), rolled steel joist (RSJ), or double-T (especially in Polish, Bulgarian, Spanish, Italian and German), is a beam with an I or H-shaped cross-section.

What is the difference between U channel and C channel?

Steel channel has been classified into “C” and “U” types depending on its outlook. Hence there are two standards to show the channel dimensions – UPE & UPN. UPE is for the C channel steel with parallel flanges while UPN for the U channel steel with tapered flanges.
