356 x 171 x 45 kg Universal Beam S355
Rolled as a universal beam measuring 352 × 171 mm, the 356 x 171 x 45 kg Universal Beam S355 carries load in bending across a span rather than in axial compression. Deflection, not stress, is very often the limiting case for a beam of these proportions, so the serviceability check tends to decide whether this size is adequate.

At 45 kg per metre, one tonne buys roughly 22.2 linear metres. Sections this heavy are usually part of a primary load path, so mill certification and dimensional tolerance matter as much as the section size itself. Held in S355 to BS EN 10025-2 and cut to length before it leaves the yard. Mill certificates accompany every load, and any fabrication is executed under our BS EN 1090 EXC 3 factory production control.
Typically specified for transfer beams over removed walls, mezzanine framing, steel-framed extensions, garage and carport openings and crane gantry runway support.
If the beam is to be encased or fire-protected, tell us at order stage so surface finish and coating are compatible with the protection system.
