Universal beams and Columns

Universal Beams & Columns 

Mild steel Universal Beams Columns may also be known as Girders, Lintels, RSJ, I or H Beam and are often used in construction due to their load bearing capabilities.

Our mild steel beams and columns are certified to BS 4360-43a / EN10025 – S275JR.

All our beams and columns come unpainted as standard.

Universal beam = the depth of the beam is greater than its width.

Universal column = the depth and width of the beam are roughly the same

The dimensions shown, for example, 127 x 76 x 13 = depth of the beam x width of the beam x weight per metre in kilograms.

To calculate the weight of a beam or column multiply the total length of the beam by the weight per metre.

We can also supply in any length up to 12m but only for delivery within a 50 mile radius on our own transport or for collection. Unfortunately we are unable to ship longer beams with our carrier due to weight restrictions, please contact us if you require further help. Just email us on info@southamptonmetals.com and we will be pleased to supply you with a quote and a lead time.

Please note: 

We are unable to advise you on load bearing capacities of our universal beams/columns as all projects differ. If you need to comply with building regulations or if you are unsure as to the size of beam you require we would advise you to contact a structural engineer so the correct calculations for your project can be carried out.
