HEA profiles are a widely used type of H-beam designed for structural applications where a lighter profile is needed without compromising strength. Manufactured according to European standards (EN), these beams are ideal for use in modern construction and engineering projects that require both efficiency and durability.
Key Characteristics of HEA Profiles
- Lightweight Design
HEA profiles are lighter compared to other H-profile beams such as HEB and HEM, making them suitable for structures where reducing load is essential without sacrificing structural integrity. - Wide Flanges
With flanges wider than standard I-beams, HEA beams offer enhanced stability and load distribution, ensuring reliable support in horizontal and vertical applications. - Parallel Flanges
The parallel flange design simplifies connection and installation, allowing for easier fabrication and welding in structural frameworks. - European Standard Quality
HEA profiles conform to strict EN 10034 and EN 10025 standards, ensuring dimensional accuracy, material quality, and consistent performance across all applications. - H-Shaped Cross-Section
The H-shaped profile features a relatively lower beam height compared to the flange width—particularly for sizes up to 300 mm—offering a balanced design ideal for both compression and bending resistance.
Applications of HEA Profiles
HEA profiles are versatile and widely used across various industries, including:
- Building Construction
Suitable for columns, beams, and supports in both residential and commercial structures. - Roof and Floor Frameworks
Ideal for load-bearing applications where lightweight support is crucial. - Bridge Engineering
Commonly used in bridges where structural weight needs to be minimized while maintaining load capacity. - Industrial Structures
Used in frameworks, support towers, and other structures requiring high strength-to-weight ratios.
