Wide Flange Parallel Beam (WPB) is a structural steel section designed for projects that require dependable load-bearing performance and efficient structural support. With wide, parallel flanges and an H-shaped profile, WPB sections are commonly used in heavy structural fabrication, industrial structures, infrastructure projects, warehouses, bridges and other engineering applications.
The wide flange arrangement provides a substantial cross-sectional area, making WPB sections suitable for applications where strength, stability and resistance to bending are important considerations. The web primarily contributes to shear resistance, while the flanges carry bending forces, making the section an efficient choice for structural steelwork.

Wide Flange Parallel Beams are available in different section sizes and weights. Depending on the manufacturer and specification, commonly supplied sections include WPB 200 × 200, WPB 240 × 240, WPB 300 × 300, WPB 600 × 300, WPB 700 × 300, WPB 800 × 300 and WPB 900 × 300. Exact dimensions, section weight and availability should always be confirmed before ordering.
WPB beams can be considered for industrial buildings, heavy fabrication, warehouses, bridges, railway-related structures, infrastructure projects, crane beams and other structural applications, depending on the engineering design and required specifications.
