Universal BeamGrade: S355

457 x 191 x 74 kg Universal Beam S355

457 x 191 x 74 kg Universal Beam S355 is a universal beam measuring 457.2 × 190.5 mm, the workhorse profile for horizontal spans where depth can be traded against weight. 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 74 kg per metre, one tonne buys roughly 13.5 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. Supplied in grade S355 to BS EN 10025-2, cut to your lengths and delivered worldwide. Heat numbers are traceable back to the rolling mill, with EN 10204 3.1 certificates issued against each delivery.

Typically specified for portal-frame rafters, opening lintels in load-bearing walls, transfer beams over removed walls, mezzanine framing and steel-framed extensions.

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.
