ASTM A992 & ASTM A572-50 Wide Flange Beams
ASTM A992 wide-flange beams have a distinctive “H” shape and a slightly different flange configuration compared to standard I-beam. Triple-S Steel® is a leading wide-flange beam supplier that sources only the highest quality steel from around the world.
Wide-Flange Beam Materials and Advantages
Triple-S Steel® stocks wide-flange beam in one of the most common steel grades available for construction projects:
A992/A572-50: This dual-rated HSLA structural steel is popular due to its combination of high strength, lower weight, and weldability.
- Alloyed with vanadium, columbium, nickel, chromium, copper, molybdenum
- 65 to 80 ksi tensile strength
- 50 to 65 ksi yield strength
ASTM A992 wide flange beam is ideal for structures that must withstand seismic activity because they have good ductility, allowing them to deform rather than break under stress. They are engineered to have a high strength-to-weight ratio, ideal for heavy load support and long structural spans. Additionally, wide-flange beam often comes at a lower cost due to the simplicity of their form and the widespread availability of A992 structural steel.

ASTM A992 Wide-Flange Beam Applications
Wide-flange beam is suitable for most heavy-duty applications, such as:
- Factory structural frameworks that support heavy machinery
- Airport terminal and hangar spaces that cannot contain columns
- Bridges for carrying heavy loads across long spans
- High-rise frameworks requiring dynamic load-bearing capabilities
- Barns and storage facilities that support equipment or stored grain
A992 wide flange beams are also ideal for welding applications due to the material’s properties and the beam’s straightforward shape and ample surface area.
