Straight answers on sizes, thickness, weight, grades, MTC, pricing and ordering — so your enquiry is specification-ready before you send it.
01
What is an HEB beam?
HEB Beams refers to a heavier HE-family series than HEA at comparable nominal sizes, subject to exact table values. It is used in columns, heavy frames, industrial structures and infrastructure requiring an approved HEB section. The name identifies a profile family, not a safe load rating; final selection must follow the approved drawing, BOQ, project standard and responsible engineer’s calculations.
02
Which HEB sizes and weights are shown in the published chart?
The live page shows HEB 100 to HEB 600 in the published chart, with 20.4 kg/m to 212 kg/m in the published chart. These are catalogue values rather than confirmation of ready stock. Quote the exact section designation, dimensional standard, material grade, length and quantity, and verify the selected row against the approved project documents.
03
How is HEB different from HEA?
HEB Beams has its own dimensional and mass series. A similar nominal depth in another family can have different flange width, thickness, radii, mass and section properties. Compare recognised section tables and approved calculations; never treat related profile names as automatic equivalents.
04
How is HEB different from HEM?
HEB Beams has its own dimensional and mass series. A similar nominal depth in another family can have different flange width, thickness, radii, mass and section properties. Compare recognised section tables and approved calculations; never treat related profile names as automatic equivalents.
05
What do section area and section modulus mean in an HEB chart?
Depth and flange width define the main outline; web and flange thickness define material distribution; root radius describes the web-to-flange curve. Section area represents cross-sectional material, while section modulus is a geometric property used in design. None is a stand-alone safe load rating.
06
Why does HEB weight per metre increase with section size?
HEB Beams mass increases as the cross-sectional steel area increases through greater depth, flange width, web thickness or flange thickness. Higher kg/m does not by itself prove suitability. Capacity, stability, deflection and connection design must be checked from the complete section properties and project conditions.
07
Can HEB beams be used for both beams and columns?
HEB Beams may appear in beam or column applications when the responsible engineer has designed the member for that action, orientation, effective length, restraint and connection system. The profile name alone does not approve either use; follow the structural drawings and governing design code.
08
Can an HEB section be selected from weight per metre alone?
No substitution or structural selection should be made from profile name, span, flange width or unit weight alone. Capacity depends on loads, combinations, span, orientation, lateral restraint, buckling, deflection, connections, fire requirements and the design code. Any change from HEB Beams requires revised calculations and written approval.
09
What is the current commercial rate for HEB Beams per kg?
Do not publish a fixed current HEB Beams price per kg. The rate changes with steel grade, section mass, quantity, length, finish, market date and supply route. Send the exact designation, standard, total tonnage and delivery postcode for a dated quotation, then confirm GST, freight and fabrication inclusions.
10
Can HEB Beams be purchased on a per-tonne basis?
A current HEB Beams price per tonne can be quoted for a defined requirement. State the exact section, material grade and standard, length, pieces or tonnage, finish, MTC, inspection and destination. Compare offers on the same weight basis and verify tax, freight, cutting, packing and documentation terms.
11
What affects the delivered price of HEB Beams?
The landed cost of HEB Beams depends on grade, section availability, unit mass, order mix, total tonnage, length, cutting, drilling, coating, testing, inspection, packing and transport. An uncommon designation or mixed small quantities may price differently from one repetitive bulk section.
12
What MOQ applies when buying HEB Beams?
The live page states a minimum order quantity of 1 tonne. Confirm how MOQ applies when the enquiry mixes sections, grades, special lengths, finishes or inspection requirements. Provide the piece count and calculated tonnage for every line item so commercial feasibility can be reviewed accurately.
13
Should buyers assume every HEB Beams designation is in stock?
Do not assume every HEB Beams designation, grade and length is ready stock. Availability should be confirmed against the exact specification, quantity and enquiry date. If timing matters, state the required date and ask whether the quotation is based on stock, incoming material or a reviewed supply requirement.
14
Is an MTC available for a HEB Beams order?
Request the MTC for HEB Beams at the enquiry stage, stating certificate type, grade standard, heat traceability and project format. Check that the certificate matches the supplied markings, dimensions and product form. A generic document does not establish compliance with every structural, toughness or coating requirement.
15
Which documents should accompany HEB Beams inspection?
Inspection for HEB Beams should cover identification, dimensions, web and flange thickness, length, straightness, surface condition, quantity, marking and MTC traceability. For third-party inspection, specify the agency, stage, hold points, acceptance criteria and required reports before ordering.
16
Can HEB Beams be supplied to approved cutting and drilling drawings?
Cutting, drilling or fabrication of HEB Beams can be reviewed against an approved drawing. Provide cut lengths, hole centres, copes, notches, end plates, weld details, tolerances and piece marks. Connection design, welding procedures and any structural modification remain subject to engineer and fabricator approval.
17
Can a specified surface finish or coating be requested for HEB Beams?
The live page lists hot-rolled, galvanised or customer-specified for HEB Beams. State the required surface condition, coating or galvanising standard, preparation, appearance and inspection. Coating suitability depends on the base material, fabrication sequence and exposure, and galvanised steel is corrosion-resistant rather than permanently rust-proof.
18
Which applications use HEB Beams?
HEB Beams are considered for columns, heavy frames, industrial structures and infrastructure requiring an approved HEB section. Suitability depends on the exact section properties, material grade, exposure, span, restraints, loads, connections and fire requirements. Final use must follow approved calculations, drawings, BOQ and applicable project standards.
19
Where can I buy HEB Beams in Mumbai or nearby states?
Ferrite can review HEB Beams requirements for Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, nearby states, India-wide supply and export enquiries. Availability and logistics depend on section and quantity. Provide the delivery postcode or destination port, Incoterm, unloading constraints and required date for review.
20
What should an India or export HEB Beams enquiry include?
For a fast HEB Beams quotation, send the profile and exact designation, dimensions, material grade, material and dimensional standards, length, pieces, tonnage, finish, make preference, MTC and inspection requirements. Add fabrication drawings, delivery postcode or port, Incoterm and required date where applicable.
