WPB Beams
WPB (Wide Parallel Beam) is the Indian trade designation for European HEB sections — wide-flange parallel-flange I-beams under EN 10025 / DIN 1025-2. They offer the highest load capacity in the wide-flange family and are the preferred choice for heavy columns. SIIPL stocks WPB 100 through WPB 600.

FAQ
What is the full form of WPB?
WPB stands for Wide Parallel Beam — the Indian trade name for European HEB sections defined under EN 10025 and DIN 1025-2. WPB sections have parallel flanges of equal width and depth, making them the strongest in the wide-flange beam family.
WPB vs HEA vs HEB — which is heaviest?
At the same depth, HEM is heaviest, HEB (WPB) is medium-heavy, and HEA is the lightest. WPB is the standard choice for primary columns in commercial high-rise structures.
How do I get a price for WPB Beams?
Send the exact size, grade, approved make, quantity and delivery location. Request a dated quotation with validity, taxes, freight and processing charges clearly stated; chart weights are not a price or stock commitment.
Are all listed WPB Beams sizes available immediately?
The size chart is a reference, not a live inventory feed. Confirm the requested size, grade, make, available lengths, minimum order quantity and dispatch schedule with SIIPL before placing an order.
What should I confirm about mill certificates and billed weight?
Include your mill test certificate, material marking and heat-number traceability requirements in the enquiry. Agree whether billing uses actual weighed weight or another stated basis, and request the relevant weight records before order confirmation.
Can I enquire about exporting WPB Beams from India?
Yes. Share the destination country and port, exact product standard and grade, quantity, delivery schedule, packing and inspection requirements. SIIPL reviews export requirements individually; destination compliance and commercial terms must be agreed for the order.
