Higher Product Flexibility
Wide range of width, flange thickness and web thickness combinations for any nominal depth.
Parallel Flange Sections & Conventional Structurals — sourced directly from SAIL.
Structurally Ahead
Parallel Flange Sections are hot rolled steel structural sections with parallel flanges having square toes and curves at the root of flange and web.
ABOUT THE PRODUCT
Parallel Flange Sections are hot rolled steel structural sections, with parallel flanges having square toes and curves at the root of flange and web.
Parallel Flange Sections meet international standards of quality and stringent requirements of the infrastructure and construction industries.
KEY BENEFITS
Wide range of width, flange thickness and web thickness combinations for any nominal depth.
Higher bending strength for beams and higher axial load carrying capacity for columns.
Greater radius of gyration lowers slenderness ratio and allows withstanding of buckling to a greater extent.
Higher strength-to-weight ratio leads to lighter structures and foundations.

FABRICATION & ECONOMY
Easier connection of joints by direct bolting on flanges without using tapered washes and easier butt welding of plate at edge of flange.
Substantial saving in material weight when used as compression member (columns) or flexural member (beams).
