What is the difference between I-beam and H steel?
The length of the I-beam is small and the height is big. It can only bear the force in one direction.The H steel groove is deep and big in thickness and can bear two directions of force.With the development of steel structure construction, only I-beam is not available, that is thickening I-beam, used for load-bearing columns, easy to instability.I-beam can only be used for cross beams, and H steel can be used for structural load-bearing columns.
The H steel wing plate is equal thickness, and the size of the H steel can not be used as lifting track, otherwise there will be willing rail, rail and other phenomena, therefore, I-beam can not be replaced by H steel. The misuse of this kind of work has been firmly corrected,. General I-beam is a kind of rail steel, and H steel is mainly structural steel, the use of different, there are essential differences.
The key difference is that the inside of the wing plate of the I-beam has a slope rather than an equal thickness, which is adapted to the traveling wheel of the suspension crane.
