H beams: HEA and HEB, price in Morocco and weight
In Morocco, "fer H" (H iron) is the usual name for HEA and HEB wide-flange beams, whose section is shaped like an H. COMARFER supplies them from 100 to 300 mm deep, in 6 m and 12 m bars, for columns, portal frames, warehouses, mezzanines and floors. The price is calculated per kilo: weight of the bar × the day's price per kg. Stock in Aïn Harrouda (Casablanca), free quote within one hour, free delivery within 24 to 48 h in the Casablanca region.
Specifications
- HEA (light series): from HEA 100 to HEA 300
- HEB (heavy series): from HEB 100 to HEB 300
- Lengths: 6 m and 12 m bars
- Hot-rolled European sections
How is the price of H beams calculated?
H beams are sold per kilo: price of a bar = weight per metre × length × the day's price per kg. Example: an HEA 100 weighs 16.7 kg/m, i.e. 100.2 kg per 6 m bar and 200.4 kg per 12 m bar; an HEB 100 weighs 20.4 kg/m, i.e. 122.4 kg per 6 m bar.

HEA or HEB: what is the difference?
Both are H-shaped with wide flanges, almost as wide as they are deep. HEA is the light series, with a thinner web and flanges. HEB is the heavy series: at the same depth it is thicker and stronger. Example: HEA 200 weighs 42.3 kg/m and HEB 200 61.3 kg/m.
What about "H 80"?
The European HEA and HEB series start at 100 mm. When someone asks for an "H 80", it is often an IPE 80 beam (6.0 kg/m). Give the depth, the flange width or the use in your request: we will suggest the right section.
Uses of H beams
Columns of warehouses and buildings, portal frames, mezzanines, floors, machine frames and supports. The choice of section depends on loads and spans: it must be confirmed by a structural calculation.
