About Stainless Steel Tee Bar
A stainless steel tee bar, also known as a stainless steel T-bar or stainless steel tee section, is a type of structural component made from stainless steel. It is named “tee” because its cross-sectional shape resembles the letter “T”. It exhibits non-magnetic properties in its annealed state, while cold working can enhance its hardness and tensile strength. What’s more, stainless steel tee bars can be both hot rolled and extruded. Tuolian also supplies extra process service in-house if required.
In addition, our tee bars come in different sizes and thicknesses to accommodate different load requirements and structural designs. The dimensions and specifications of stainless steel tee bars can vary based on the specific application and engineering standards being followed.
Features of Stainless Steel Tee Bar
Stainless steel tee bar has great strength and corrosion resistance, which makes it suitable for outdoor or marine applications, as well as for environments where chemicals or acidic substances are present. It is also less prone to rust and staining compared to other materials, reducing the need for frequent upkeep. What’s more, stainless steel tee bars offer high strength and durability, making them capable of supporting heavy loads and providing structural integrity in various applications. Depending on the specific grade of stainless steel used, tee bars can exhibit good heat resistance. Stainless steel tee bars are often easy to weld and fabricate, which allows for customization and the creation of complex structures or designs.

Stainless steel tee bars come in a variety of dimensions, including height (also known as the “web” dimension), width (also known as the “flange” dimension), and thickness. The dimensions of stainless steel tee bars can vary based on the specific grade of stainless steel, the manufacturing standards, and the intended application. Here are some general guidelines for the dimensions of stainless steel tee bars:
Height (Web Dimension):
– Common heights for stainless steel tee bars can range from 20 mm (0.8 inches) to 200 mm (7.9 inches) or more.
– Larger sizes are available for specialized applications, such as heavy-duty structural support.
Width (Flange Dimension):
– The width of the flange typically corresponds to the width of the top portion of the “T” shape.
– Common widths can range from 20 mm (0.8 inches) to 100 mm (3.9 inches) or more.
Thickness:
– The thickness of the stainless steel tee bar can vary significantly based on the size and grade.
– Common thicknesses are often in the range of 3 mm (0.12 inches) to 12 mm (0.47 inches) or more.
It’s important to note that stainless steel tee bars are available in various standard profiles, with dimensions conforming to industry standards set by organizations such as ASTM International.
