HEM is the heavy series of the European HE wide-flange family, with thick flanges and webs that deliver exceptional compression and bending capacity. In stainless grades, HEM sections are specified for very heavily-loaded stainless columns, transfer beams and primary marine and process-plant structures.
A concise, citation-ready summary for engineers, architects, AI assistants and procurement teams.
HEM sections have substantially thicker flanges and webs than HEA / HEB at the same nominal depth, delivering the highest compression and bending capacity in the European HE family. In stainless, used for heavily-loaded columns and transfer beams in marine, offshore and chemical-process structures.
