H20 beam dimensions and prices

1. What size are H20 beams?

H20 wooden I-beams (HScode: 4418830090) follow international construction standards, with standard dimensions as follows:

• Cross-sectional dimensions:

◦ Height (H): 200mm (7.87 inches) – the "20" in H20 refers to this height dimension

◦ Width (B): 80mm (3.15 inches)

◦ Wing thickness (T1): 40mm (1.57 inches)

◦ Middle thickness (T2): 27mm (1.06 inches)

• Length options: 2.4m (7.87ft), 3.0m (9.84ft), 3.6m (11.81ft) custom any lengths (up to 6.0m/19.69ft) available upon request

• Material: Spruce-pine-plywood, dried to 12-15% moisture content for stability

• Key standard: Complies with EN 13377 (European) and APA A190.1 (North American) for structural performance

2. What is the standard size of plywood beam?

H20 beams (used in formwork support systems) have no universal "one-size-fits-all" standard, but common specifications align with regional engineering standards. Below are widely accepted standard sizes.

• Length:

◦ H20 Beams Length: 1.8m, 2.9m, 3.0m, 3.3m, 3.9m, 4.9m, 5.9m

• Weight:

◦ H20 beams weighs approximately 4.8 kg per meter, with its surface painted with yellow waterproof paint.

• Key note: Both ends can be covered with red plastic protective caps or metal caps.

3. What is H20 beam in formwork?

In formwork systems, the H20 beam refers to a structural wooden I-beam used as primary or secondary support for concrete formwork, sharing core characteristics with standard H20 beams but optimized for formwork system compatibility:

• Dimensional consistency: Same cross-section as standard H20 beams (200x80mm/7.87x3.94in) to ensure interchangeability

• Material upgrade: Zhuniu H20 beams often use high-grade spruce with enhanced load capacity (static load resistance ≥25kN/m²)

• System integration: Designed to fit every formwork connectors (e.g., Clamps, Props) and panel systems(plywood,steel,plastic formwork)

• compatibility: Zhuniu H20 beams are fully compatible with formwork systems, offering a cost-effective alternative with identical dimensional accuracy and load-bearing performance
