RSJ / Universal Beam

Hi,

I'm just about to start trying to source 2 x (203x102x23) Grade 43. Length = 2.75m universal beams that will be bolted together at 600c/c with M16 bolts.

Where do most people get them from? I'm based in the northwest.

Cheers,

    If they are to be bolted together are you sure they are not RSC which is a channel (C section)? As regards sourcing as above or check with the engineer who did the calculations for you.

    I bought my RSJ (I beam) from the local steel merchants, price per meter + about £5 cutting charge + about £10 for delivery.
    I love my spell checker, it stops me making all sorts of stupid smelling mistakes. :doh:
