How do you read a wide flange size?
Wide flange beams are designated by the letter W followed by the nminal depth in inches and the weight in pounds per foot. Thus W12 × 19 designates a wide flange beam with a depth of 12 inches and a nominal weight of 19 pounds per foot.
How long are wide flange beams?
Wide-flange beams are differentiated by the height of the web, which can range from 4 inches to more than 40 inches, and by the weight of the beam, measured in pounds per foot.
What is wide flange?
Wide Flange beams have flanges that are nearly perpendicular to the web of the material, unlike the traditional I-Beam. Wide Flange can be found in many structural applications such as bridges and buildings.

What is wide flange column?
Wide Flange is a type of steel beam used in the construction and structural industry. It features a shape resembling the letter H. We supply various grades of steel, including but not limited to A913 quench and tempered steel.
How is wide flange made?
Wide flange beams are produced through a process called rolling or caliber rolling. Caliber rolling is conducted in the roughing stage of beam formation. First, steel is rolled by caliber rolls in order to create the same cross-sectional shape as that of the rolls. To do this, the beam is fed through a universal mill.
