FAQs — Steel Beam

Steel Beam: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on sizes, thickness, weight, grades, MTC, pricing and ordering — so your enquiry is specification-ready before you send it.

01
What is a steel beam?

A steel beam is a structural member designed mainly to carry loads across a span and transfer them to columns, walls or foundations. Its web resists much of the shear force, while its flanges help resist bending. Steel beams are widely used in buildings, factories, warehouses, bridges, platforms and industrial structures.

02
Which types of steel beams does Ferrite manufacture and supply?

Ferrite’s published range includes: Mild steel beams Stainless steel beams Mild steel I-beams Mild steel H-beams Structural beams Steel joists Universal beams Universal columns European parallel-flange sections such as IPE, HEA, HEB and HEM Availability depends on the required material, section, grade, length, quantity and project specification.

03
What is the difference between an I-beam and an H-beam?

An I-beam generally has a narrower flange relative to its depth and is commonly selected for efficient horizontal load carrying. An H-beam normally has wider flanges and a section proportion suited to heavier structural requirements. However, the names are often used loosely, so buyers should order by the exact section designation and weight per metre rather than by shape name alone.

04
Is a universal beam the same as an I-beam?

A universal beam is an I-shaped structural section designed mainly for bending and horizontal load-bearing applications. It is commonly identified by its nominal depth, flange width and section weight. Ferrite’s universal-beam range also includes parallel-flange beam families such as NPB, IPE, HEA, HEB and HEM sections.

05
What is the difference between a universal beam and a universal column?

A universal beam is generally proportioned for horizontal bending loads, while a universal column normally has a broader, more compact section suited to vertical compression. Either section may be used differently when approved by the structural designer. Buyers should therefore provide the exact UB or UC designation shown in the project drawing.

06
Which steel-beam grades can Ferrite supply?

Ferrite’s published mild-steel beam range includes IS 2062 E250, IS 2062 E350, S275JR and S355J2. Its stainless steel beam range includes SS304L, SS310L and SS316L. The final grade should be selected according to the project specification, required yield strength, welding requirements, toughness, corrosion exposure and service temperature.

07
Which standards apply to steel beams?

Ferrite refers to IS 808, IS 1852 and IS 12779 alongside the applicable material grades. IS 808 covers nominal dimensions, mass and sectional properties for hot-rolled beam, column, channel and angle sections. IS 12779 covers rolling and cutting tolerances for hot-rolled parallel-flange beam and column sections. These are standards, not material grades or company certifications.

08
What information should I provide when ordering a steel beam?

Provide: Beam type or section designation Material grade Applicable standard Overall depth Flange width Web thickness Flange thickness Weight per metre, where specified Required length Quantity or tonnage Finish or coating Delivery location BOQ or structural drawing An enquiry such as “200 mm beam” is incomplete because different beam families can have the same nominal depth but different widths, thicknesses and weights.

09
What steel-beam sizes can Ferrite supply?

Ferrite supplies multiple beam families, so there is no single size range that correctly represents the entire category. For example, its universal-beam page currently lists sections from approximately 150 × 75 mm to 600 × 300 mm, while the joist page lists standard Indian beam-style sections up to 600 × 210 × 12 mm. Confirm availability using the complete section designation and required grade.

10
How is the weight of a steel beam calculated?

For a standard rolled beam: Total weight = section weight in kg/m × beam length in metres × number of beams For example, the official or manufacturer’s section table should be used to find the correct kg/m value. Do not estimate beam weight from depth alone because the web thickness, flange thickness and section family affect the result.

11
How much does a 20-foot or 30-foot steel beam weigh?

The weight cannot be calculated from length alone. A 20-foot beam may be light or very heavy depending on whether it is an ISMB, ISHB, IPE, UB, UC or another section. Send the full designation—such as the section size and kg/m value—and Ferrite can prepare the theoretical total weight for quotation.

12
How can I get the current steel-beam price per kg in Mumbai?

Send the beam type, section designation, grade, length, quantity, mill preference and delivery location. Steel-beam prices change with the grade, section weight, source, order quantity, processing requirement, market rate and freight. For this reason, Ferrite should provide a dated requirement-based quotation instead of publishing a fixed online price range.

13
Are steel beams quoted by kilogram, tonne, piece or length?

Steel beams may be quoted by kilogram, metric tonne, piece or full length. The commercial quotation should clearly state: Rate basis Theoretical or actual weighment Standard length Cutting charges Loading Taxes Freight Unloading responsibility This allows buyers to compare the total landed cost rather than only the basic rate.

14
What is the minimum order quantity for steel beams?

Ferrite currently publishes an MOQ of 1 tonne onwards on its beam-category and several beam-product pages. Smaller requirements may be considered from available stock, while non-standard sections, special grades, fabricated beams or fresh production may require a different minimum quantity.

15
Are steel beams supplied with a Material Test Certificate?

Ferrite states that its steel products are supplied with Material Test Certificates. Buyers requiring heat-number traceability, chemical and mechanical test results, third-party inspection or a specific document format should mention these requirements before the quotation and purchase order are finalised. Ferrite’s services page also lists third-party material inspection and NABL-approved laboratory test certificates.

16
Can Ferrite supply beams from approved Indian steel mills?

Ferrite’s published universal-beam page lists makes including SAIL, RINL, Jindal and Tata, along with other sources. Send the project-approved make list with the grade, section and quantity. The selected mill, material origin, MTC and permitted alternatives should be confirmed in the quotation. Availability from one specific mill depends on its current rolling programme and stock position.

17
Can steel beams be supplied in custom lengths or fabricated form?

Yes. Ferrite’s services include cut-to-size materials, CNC cutting, plasma cutting, welded engineering assemblies and custom structural fabrication through its associated PRECITECH facility. Send the beam section, cut length, connection details, drawing, tolerances, welding specification, quantity and inspection plan so the processing scope can be reviewed before quotation.

18
Do you provide beam cutting, drilling, welding or fabrication?

Ferrite publicly confirms cut-to-size material, CNC and plasma cutting, SAW, TIG and MIG welding, floor-boring machinery and heavy structural fabrication. Drilling, hole-making, notching, end-plate work or connection preparation should be confirmed against the approved fabrication drawing rather than assumed as a standard service for every beam order.

19
How do I choose the correct beam size for my span and load?

The beam size must be selected using the span, support arrangement, dead load, live load, equipment load, deflection limit, connection design, steel grade and applicable building code. Ferrite can help identify available commercial sections and provide dimensional or weight information, but final beam sizing and structural approval should remain with the project’s authorised structural engineer.

20
Where does Ferrite supply steel beams from?

Ferrite lists its sales office in Ghatkopar East, Mumbai, and its factory and stock location at KWC Kalamboli in the Navi Mumbai region. Steel-beam enquiries can be handled for Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and industrial locations across Maharashtra. Dispatch to Gujarat, Karnataka, Goa and other project locations should be confirmed according to section length, total tonnage, vehicle availability and delivery route.
