What is BS EN 10365 about?
BS EN 10365 is a European standard on steel sections and channels that discusses the shape and dimensions of the steel section and channels which is useful in the manufacturing and construction process. BS EN 10365 specifies the nominal dimensions and masses of the hot rolled steel channels, I and H sections.
The following shapes are covered by BS EN 10365:
Sections:
- Parallel flange I section IPE
- Wide flange beams HE
- Extra wide flange beams HL and HLZ
- Wide flange columns HD
- Wide flange bearing piles HP and UBP
- Universal beams UB
- Universal columns UC
- Taper flange I sections IPN and J
Channels:
- Parallel flange channels UPE and PFC
- Taper flange channels UPN, U and CH
These requirements do not apply to hot rolled steel channels, I and H sections from stainless steel.
Who is BS EN 10365 for?
BS EN 10365 on steel channels is relevant to:
- Manufacturer of steel channels
- Civil engineer
- Structural engineer
- Mechanical engineer
Why should you use BS EN 10365?
Steel sections and channels are suitable for use in a range of sectors and have been used to build tools, vehicles, walkways, bridges, buildings, and more.
BS EN 10365 provides the appropriate guidance on dimensions and masses, tolerances on dimensions, shape, mass, and material of steel sections and channels.
As a user of BS EN 10365, you can be ensured of achieving accuracy in terms of product parameters. With BS EN 10365 you can manufacture steel sections of precise shape and dimension. Overall, with BS EN 10365, you will be able to accurately calculate the load capacity of different sections shapes or make decisions on specifying steel sections within the build.
