ASTM A992 – Wide Flange Steel Beams (W-Beams)
ASTM A992 is the industry standard specification for wide flange structural steel beams used in structural steel framing for buildings, bridges, and other load-bearing applications. Known for its excellent strength, weldability, and uniformity, A992 has become the preferred choice for steel fabricators and contractors across the construction industry.
These W-Beams, also referred to as wide flange beams, feature parallel flanges and consistent dimensions, making them ideal for column and beam systems in both commercial and industrial structures.
Key Advantages:
- High strength-to-weight ratio, reducing overall structural weight
- Superior weldability and machinability
- Excellent dimensional consistency and straightness
- Tight tolerances for flange thickness and depth
- Enhanced ductility and toughness under load
Common Applications:
- Building and bridge frameworks
- Steel erection and structural framing
- Support beams, headers, and columns
- Industrial platforms and mezzanines
ASTM A992 beams are typically available in sizes W4 through W36, in standard lengths (20’, 40’, or custom-cut), and are designed to meet the strength and performance requirements of modern steel construction.
