Steel Grades in France
Steel Grades in France
(OP)
Does anyone know the typical steel grades in France?
I have a HEB160 and a 200x200x10 tube that I need to check and I dont know what the common stress grades (Fy) are for these.
Any help would be appreciated.

A HEB 160 is a european wide flange beam (basically a column section).
Not sure about France but in the UK these come with a yield stress of 275MPa, 355MPa, or 460MPa for normal structural purposes.
We are all (Europe) moving to the Eurocodes so I checked EN 1993. The British version (in english strangely) also has the same values given above.
I think the old French code was NFA 35-501. In this document the equivalent to grade S275 was E-28, S355 was E-36.
Not sure if this helps though.

I found out that both the tube and the I-beam are S235 (235MPa) which is 34.08 ksi so there is steel weaker than A36!

ASTM A6 is a material supply standard that addresses tolerances, strightness, etc. I think you might have meant ASTM A7.
