UB Universal Beams Mild Steel
Structural Universal Mild Steel Beams (UB) AS/NZS 3679, Grade 300, refer to a specific type of steel beam that conforms to the Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 3679. The Grade 300 designation indicates the minimum yield strength of the steel used in the beams.
In this context, "UB" stands for Universal Beam, which signifies the I-shaped cross-section of the beam. It consists of a vertical web and two horizontal flanges. The web connects the flanges, providing strength and stability to the beam.
The AS/NZS 3679 standard specifies the requirements for hot-rolled structural steel sections, including universal beams. Grade 300 refers to the minimum yield strength of 300 megapascals (MPa) for the steel used in the beams. Yield strength is a measure of the stress at which the steel begins to deform permanently.
Structural Universal Mild Steel Beams AS/NZS 3679, Grade 300, are commonly used in various construction and structural engineering applications. They are employed in projects such as building construction, infrastructure development, bridges, platforms, and other load-bearing structures.
The Grade 300 steel beams offer a balance of strength, ductility, and affordability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. They can withstand significant loads and provide structural support over long spans. The I-shaped design of the beams allows for efficient load distribution and optimal use of material.
By adhering to the AS/NZS 3679 standard, manufacturers ensure that the mild steel beams meet specific criteria for dimensions, tolerances, chemical composition, mechanical properties, and other quality requirements.
In summary, Structural Universal Mild Steel Beams (UB) AS/NZS 3679, Grade 300, are I-shaped steel beams manufactured in compliance with the Australian and New Zealand standard. They are used in construction and structural engineering projects for their strength, load-bearing capabilities, and adherence to quality specifications.
