Trivia – Hot-rolled Universal Beam Structural Steel Sections

Grade 300 Steel is the most common and standard grade manufactured by most manufacturers in Australia for hot rolled Structural Steel Sections. Depending on project and client demands, other grades available in the market are 300L0, 300L15, 350, 350L0 & 350L15.

Common stock lengths available in the market are 9.0m, 10.5m, 12.0m, 13.5m, 15.0m, 16.5m, 18.0m & 20.0. However, some lengths may not be available depending on the supplier. 

Hot-rolled Structural Steel Sections are usually supplied in Mill Finish. Although, other finishes are available on demand or special orders.

Universal Beams are available in section depths of 150mm, 180mm, 200mm, 250mm, 310mm, 360mm, 410mm, 460mm, 530mm & 610mm.
