UB & UC Beams—Australian H Beams for Sale

Australian H-beams are classified into 2 types: UC Beams and UB Beams. These H-beams comply with the AS/NZS 3679.1 standard and are mainly supplied with quality that meets the technical level in the Australia and New Zealand regions.

• H section 150–610 UB 14–125 – Universal Beams (UB)
• H section 100–310 UC 14.8–158 – Universal Columns (UC)

These 2 standards clearly define requirements for dimensional accuracy, permissible tolerances, and surface quality for hot-rolled steel sections, including H-section steel. Compared with welded built-up beams, it offers lower cost, simplified processes, reduced metal consumption, shorter production cycles, lower labor intensity, and convenient construction.

Australian H-Beam Standard (AS/NZS3679.1)

AGICO supplies H beams manufactured according to the Australian standard – AS/NZS 3679.1, which is a joint standard of Australia and New Zealand. Its full name is “Hot-rolled bars and sections for structural purposes – Part 1: Hot-rolled bars and sections.” This standard is a fundamental technical document in the field of structural steel in Australia and New Zealand. It specifies unified requirements for the chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, inspection methods, and delivery conditions of hot-rolled structural steel products, including H-beam sections.

What we supply: H-beams of this standard are one of the common structural steel section products exported from AGICO. With reliable and consistent performance, we provide a technical basis for the design, fabrication, and deep processing of H beams for steel structure projects such as buildings, bridges, and industrial facilities, such as H piles, H section beams and girders, H beam columns, etc.

UB & UC Beams – Australian H-Beam Types

Australian H-beams are classified into 2 types: UC Beams and UB Beams. These H beams comply with the AS/NZS 3679.1 standard and are mainly supplied with quality that meets the technical level in Australia and New Zealand regions.

UB & UC H-Beam Dimensions Chart

Universal Beams (UB) – H beam 150–610 UB 14–125

Universal Columns (UC) – H column 100–310 UC 14.8–158

H-Beam Material Series

Common Australian steel grades are the 300 and 350 series, Sampling methods for chemical analysis shall comply with AS/NZS 1050.1 or ISO 14284. Chemical composition shall be tested according to the AS/NZS 1050 series standards or other procedures that achieve the same or better level of accuracy.

Australian H-Beams Introduction

Hot rolled H beams are strictly implemented in accordance with Australian standards, featuring high toughness, good weldability, low-temperature resistance, high dimensional accuracy, and stable mechanical properties. Although the these H sections adopts the Australian standard system, the core quality requirements such as the material, mechanical properties, chemical composition, and testing methods of the steel fully comply with the provisions of the European EN10025 standard.

UB Beam and UC Beam Application Fields

• Industrial and Commercial Buildings: Serving as main beams, secondary beams, or columns in factories, warehouses, shopping centers, office buildings, etc., forming the primary load-bearing framework.
• Multi-Story Building Structures: In low- to mid-rise buildings, used as floor beams and load-bearing columns to support floor loads and transfer them to the foundation.
• Bridge Engineering: Can be used to construct longitudinal beams, transverse beams, and other components for small to medium-sized bridges.
• Industrial Facilities: Used for manufacturing equipment platforms, conveyor bridges, large support structures, and other industrial structures.

Australian Standard H Beam Model Examples

UB 14–125 and UC 14.8–158 H beams are commonly used hot-rolled structural sections in construction and engineering structures in Australia and New Zealand.
