What are the key features of European beams/Euronorm sections?
European beams manufactured to the highest standards with good quality steel have a number of key features that make them suitable for diverse uses in various industries. These features include high strength and structural integrity, standardised dimensions and precision, and versatility in applications.
High strength & structural integrity
Exceptional strength is one of the main advantages of European standard steel beams. Designed to withstand significant loads, these beams are engineered for optimal structural integrity. This ensures stability in the most demanding environments. Due to their load-bearing capacity, these steel beams are an excellent choice for applications where safety and resilience are essential, such as bridges, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities.
Standardised dimensions & precision
These steel sections are manufactured according to strict European standards to ensure consistently accurate European beam dimensions. This level of precision makes it possible to seamlessly integrate these beams into various projects, which reduces the need to adjust or modify the beams or other components on-site. The standardisation of Euronorm sections ensures they are compatible with other construction materials and can be installed quickly and easily.
Versatility in applications
The adaptability of European standard steel beams makes them a popular choice for diverse applications, such as load-bearing structures, mezzanines, and supporting frameworks. They’re also used extensively in transportation infrastructure and offshore projects. Euronorm sections are used across multiple industries, such as civil engineering, construction, and industrial manufacturing.
Compliance & standards
Our European beams are manufactured in compliance with strict quality and safety regulations and industry standards. When you choose Euronorm sections from SPS, you’re making a choice for long-lasting performance and reliability. Some of the most important certifications and standards include:
EN 1993 (Eurocode 3): This standard governs structural steel design, offering guidelines regarding durability, stability, and strength.
EN 10025: Specifying the technical delivery conditions for structural steel products, this standard ensures high-performance material properties.
ISO 9001: This standard guarantees a quality management system that emphasises continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
What are the applications of European beams/Euronorm sections?
European standard steel beams / Euronorm sections have a broad range of applications in multiple industries. Some of these industries and applications include:
Civil engineering & construction: European beams are used for structural support in bridges, commercial buildings, and high-rise buildings.
Energy sector: Providing structural reinforcement, these beams are used in hydroelectric facilities, power plants, and wind turbine towers.
Industrial facilities: Euronorm sections form part of heavy-duty frameworks in manufacturing plants, processing units, and warehouses.
Marine & offshore engineering: The corrosion resistance and strength of these beams makes them suitable for oil rigs, shipbuilding, and other marine structures.
Transportation infrastructure: European standard steel beams are used in highways, railway tracks, and tunnels for improved stability and support.
What are the different grades of European beams/Euronorm sections?
At SPS, European beams are available in various steel grades to suit different project requirements. Your choice of grade should depend on factors such as load requirements, environmental conditions, and intended application. The most common of these grades include:
S235JR: This widely used structural steel grade has good toughness and weldability.
S275JR: Indicating suitability for general structural applications, this grade offers a balance of ductility and strength.
S355JR/S355J2: This grade indicates high-strength steel with enhanced impact- and stress-resistance, making it ideal for heavy-duty applications.
S460: Beams of this superior steel grade are used in demanding engineering applications that require exceptional load-bearing capacity.
