H Beam Size Chart and Weight Table for Structural Design

H-beams are among the most commonly used structural steel sections in construction projects, providing excellent load-bearing capacity and design flexibility. Whether you’re building industrial frameworks, warehouses, or bridge structures, knowing the H beam dimensions, measurements, and weight per meter is essential for accurate structural design and cost estimation.

As a global steel supplier, CJM Steel provides carbon steel, galvanized, and stainless steel H-beams in a wide range of standard sizes. The tables below will help you find the right section for your project and plan material procurement efficiently.

Standard H Beam Dimensions

The following H beam size chart lists standard dimensions including flange width, web thickness, and sectional height. All values are approximate and may vary slightly depending on the standard and manufacturing process.

Dimensions are based on commonly used international standards such as JIS G3101, ASTM A36, and EN 10025.

Weight of Steel H Beams per Meter and per Foot

The weight of H beams depends on both section size and material density.
Below is a conversion table showing the approximate weight per meter and weight per foot for quick estimation.

Applications Based on Beam Size

Selecting the right beam size goes beyond dimensions — it involves understanding load requirements, project timelines, and sourcing efficiency. Below are typical applications and procurement insights based on size ranges.

For 100–200 mm H Beams

• Applications: Light steel structures, residential buildings, machinery frames.
• Procurement Insight: These are commonly stocked sizes, ideal for projects requiring quick delivery. For cost-sensitive projects, ASTM A36 or SS400 offers excellent strength-to-price balance.

For 250–300 mm H Beams

• Applications: Warehouses, factory frameworks, medium-load columns.
• Procurement Insight: Always confirm whether your design specifies rolled or welded H-beams. CJM Steel provides both options and can recommend the most suitable one based on structural design and cost efficiency.

For 350–400 mm H Beams

• Applications: Large-span bridges, industrial plants, heavy equipment bases.
• Procurement Insight: Large-section H-beams are usually mill-rolled and may require longer lead times. Our team can coordinate with steel mills for production scheduling and shipping arrangements to ensure smooth project execution.

For 500–600 mm H Beams

• Applications: High-rise construction, bridge supports, marine platforms.
• Procurement Insight: Custom lengths and section sizes can be produced upon request. We also offer cutting, drilling, and surface treatment services to reduce on-site fabrication time.
