: Most wide flange beams are produced to ASTM A992 or A572 Grade 50 standards, ensuring high yield and tensile strength.

: Characterized by tapered flanges, these are often used where loads are concentrated on the flanges, such as in hoists, cranes, or machine bases.

: These feature non-tapered flanges and a wider profile, providing superior horizontal strength. They are the standard for skyscrapers, house frames, and bridges.
