H-beams are widely used in the construction industry and are available in a variety of standard sizes. H-beams may be used both as beams and as columns. Future Metal’s hot rolled H-Beam comes with standard size range from 100×100 up to 350×350. Non standard H-Beam can be fabricated by welding steel plates together to form a welded beam that fits our customer’s size requirements. Future Metal also provides free cut-to-length service for customers that required length below our standard length of 12m. We have our own factory, a large number of carbon steel H steel in stock, to meet the needs of large orders, contact us to get the largest discount wholesale price !

Internationally accepted materials and applications
| Component Type | Preferred Section | Application Logic |
| Building Frame Main/Secondary Beams | American Standard: W-beams (e.g., W12x26)
European Standard: IPE beams (e.g., IPE 300) | A high section depth is sought to achieve a large moment of inertia, which provides excellent bending resistance. This leads to optimal material efficiency and cost-effectiveness for spanning horizontal members. |
| Structural Columns or Heavy-Duty Beams | American Standard: W-beams (deeper, heavier models)
European Standard: HEA/HEB series | These members require substantial load-bearing capacity. The sections must have good moments of inertia and compressive strength about both principal axes to resist combined loads and prevent buckling. |
| Purlins, Wall Girts, & Bracing | American Standard: C-beams (Channel sections)
European Standard: UPE/UPN channels | These components handle relatively light bending loads from cladding. Their shape makes them easy and fast to connect to wall and roof panels, facilitating quick enclosure of the structure. |
| Material Selection | Primary Steel: A992 (US) / S355 (EU)
Secondary Steel: A36 (US) / S235 (EU) | A992/S355 is the modern default for main structural members due to its high strength, good toughness, and excellent weldability.
A36/S235 is specified for non-critical, secondary elements like stairs, platforms, and railings, where high strength is not required. |

| Q355B | China (GB/T) | 355 MPa | Primary structural steel in China and regions using Chinese standards |
| SM490 | Japan (JIS) | 325 MPa | Structural engineering in Japan and East Asia |
