Lightened Beams


Manni Sipre is able to offer customers lightened HEA and IPE beams. These are laminated beams that differ from standard beams in two fundamental ways:

  • with respect to HEA and IPE with equal nominal designations, lightened (HEAA and IPEA) beams have smaller thickness; the Wx / Weight ratio is improved with respect to standard beams;
  • Lightened beams are almost exclusively of the S 355 quality, while standard beams are of S 275 quality.

The combination of these two features generates the following advantages:

  • Since the cost in euros per tonne is greater, the total expenditure is less in virtue of the value of the weight saved;
  • Movement time is reduced;
  • Greater savings in transportation expenses;
  • Savings in hot galvanisation.
  • Greater product quality (lightened beams are produced only by first rate steelworks).
