3) Inspected by authoritative organizations such as CCIC, SGS, BV, and TUV, with standard seaworthy packaging
Basic Protection: Each bundle is wrapped in tarpaulin, with 2-3 desiccant packs placed in each bundle, and covered with heat-sealed rainproof cloth.
Bundling: Strapping is done with 12-16mm Φ steel straps, suitable for lifting equipment in American ports with a capacity of 2-3 tons per bundle.
Compliance Labeling: Bilingual (English + Spanish) labels are affixed, clearly indicating the material, specification, HS code, batch, and test report number.
For oversized H-section steel (cross-section height ≥ 800mm), the steel surface is coated with industrial anti-rust oil, allowed to dry, and wrapped with tarpaulin.
Efficient logistics service chain, We have established stable cooperative relationships with shipping companies such as MSK, MSC, and COSCO.
We adhere to ISO9001 quality management system standards throughout the entire process, with a strict control mechanism in place from packaging material selection to transport vehicle allocation. This ensures the integrity of H-beams from factory to delivery, providing a solid foundation for smooth project construction!
1. What Does ASTM W Beam Mean?
An ASTM W Beam is a hot-rolled wide flange structural steel beam with an H-shape cross section, which is the most popular choice in American construction and industrial projects for bearing load applications.
2. What Grades of ASTM are W Beams Offered In?
Some typical structural grades are ASTM A36, ASTM A572 Grade 50, ASTM A992 based on the strength required and project requirements.
3. W Beams are Used for What?
W Beams can be found in almost every type of steel construction from buildings, warehouses, bridges, oil rigs, columns and heavy industrial applications. Platforms, W Beams are used extensively in steel buildings, warehouses, bridges, industrial applications… and more.
4. Where Can I Find W Beam Sizes?
The W Beams have different sizes and weights with several W-series models. Custom size: Yes. We also can offer customized size and cut W Beams based on your requirements.
5. Are W Beams Customisable?
Yes. For drawings and project requirements, Royal Steel Group is able to offer cutting, drilling, welding, surface treatment, and other processing services.
6. Can ASTM Inspection Documents be Supplied?
Yes Test certificates Mill Test Certificates (MTC), Mechanical Test Report, Dimensional Inspection and Third Party Inspection can be offered as per the order and project requirement.
