ASTM A992 W12x26 Steel Beam | Wide Flange Structural Steel Supplier
This company supplies ASTM A992 W12x26 W Steel Beams for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, warehouses and structural steel construction projects. Its strength and ability to be fabricated into high-performance forms make this this hot rolled, wide flange beam uniquely suited for modern structural applications which demand a practical section size.
The W12x26 beam is an American W Section Steel. It's a standard structural steel section widely used: in structural calculation usually only identified by its nominal weight of 26 pounds per linear foot and found in framing, columns, beams, and other load‑bearing pieces on construction sites.
Like the other structural steel grades from the same normal that are mandated by ASTM A992, this is known in the U.S. Construction industry for minimally yielding better specified structure grade of 50ksi with the use of structural steel based on federal specifications.
Royal Steel Group is a professional Wide Flange Beam Supplier which supplies a variety of services to steel distributors, fabricators, contractors, and project buyers including specification-based sourcing, custom lengths, material documentation, and international shipping services.

1. Abundant Strength
ASTM A992 structural steel boasts a minimum yield strength of 50 ksi (345 MPa) which has become a commonly-accepted material for structural steel designs. Often chosen beams and columns in a number of commercial and industrial buildings for its exceptional yield strength.
2. American Standard Wide Flange Profile
That is what the W12x26 is - an American standard wide flange beam with two horizontal, parallel flanges and a central vertical web It is shaped to facilitate efficient joining and integration into existing structural steel framing systems.
3. Uniform Weight & Dimensions
With its nominal weight of 26 lb/ft, the W12x26 allows engineers and procurement teams to estimate material quantities, estimate shipping weights, and obtain fabrication costs.
4. Good for Welding and Fabrication
ASTM A992 steel finds wide use in both welded and bolted structural assemblies. For buildings under certain conditions, it can be used in wired structures under normal construction conditions with proper welded and connection details.
5. Widespread in Steel Building Construction
With its W Section to provide standardized American structures for a variety of projects, including everything from warehouse framing to non-residential types of building structure.
For U.S. steel buyers, accurate section dimensions and weight per foot are important when comparing suppliers and preparing material takeoffs.
