FAQ
What is the main use of the 254 x 146 x 31KG Universal Beam?
This universal beam is designed for structural support in frameworks where both vertical and horizontal loads need to be managed. Common uses include floors, roofs, mezzanines, and portal frames in steel buildings.
Is S355J0 steel suitable for welding and fabrication?
Yes. S355J0 is a widely used structural steel grade known for its excellent weldability, machinability, and high tensile strength. It performs reliably in most structural fabrication settings.
Can BM Steel supply this universal beam cut to custom lengths?
Absolutely. We offer in-house cutting services to suit your project requirements. Let us know your required dimensions when placing your order.
Is this beam suitable for use in external environments?
The beam can be used outdoors, but for prolonged exposure we recommend applying protective coatings or galvanisation to help prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan.
What?s the difference between a universal beam and a column?
Universal beams (UBs) have wider flanges and are designed to carry loads horizontally. Universal columns (UCs) have nearly equal height and width, making them more suitable for vertical loading.
Does this universal beam meet UK structural standards?
Yes, the product is manufactured to BSEN10025-2 standards and is fully compliant with UK structural and safety regulations.
