GOST R 57837-2017 PDF

Full title and description

ГОСТ Р 57837-2017 — Двутавры стальные горячекатаные с параллельными гранями полок. Технические условия. (English title: Hot-rolled steel I-beams with parallel edges of flanges. Specifications). This national standard defines technical requirements, assortment, mechanical and chemical properties, test methods, rules of acceptance, marking, packaging, transportation and storage for hot‑rolled I‑beams with parallel flange edges intended for building and structural applications.

Abstract

GOST R 57837-2017 specifies the types, dimensional series and technical requirements for hot‑rolled steel I‑beams with parallel flange edges (including beam, wide‑flange and column profiles), lists permitted steel grades and strength classes, describes mechanical and impact test requirements, and sets out rules for acceptance, marking, packaging, transport and storage. It was developed for use by manufacturers, suppliers and designers of steel building structures.

Scope

This standard applies to hot‑rolled steel I‑beam profiles with parallel flange edges made from unalloyed and alloyed steels intended for use in building and civil engineering steel structures with welded and bolted joints. It covers profile designation and assortment, dimensional tolerances, permissible steel grades and strength classes, requirements for mechanical and impact properties (including when specified in orders), chemical composition checks and accepted test methods, as well as marking, packaging, transport and storage rules.

Key topics and requirements

• Designation and assortment of I‑beam types (beam, wide‑flange, column, pile profiles) and numeric profile series.
• Dimensional tolerances for height, flange width and web/flange thickness; permitted lengths (measured and nominal) and finishing conditions.
• Permitted steel grades and strength classes; normative references to chemical analysis and mechanical test methods.
• Mechanical property requirements including tensile strength, yield strength and conditional requirements for impact toughness where specified.
• Rules of acceptance and sampling, including nondestructive and destructive testing where required.
• Marking, packing, transportation and storage requirements and basic safety/environmental protection provisions for handling and delivery.
• References and normative links to methods for determination of carbon and alloying elements, and to related standards on weldability and steel grades (used for material selection and testing protocols).

Typical use and users

Manufacturers and mills producing hot‑rolled I‑beams; steel merchants and stockists; structural engineers and detailers specifying beam profiles for buildings, bridges and industrial structures; fabricators and erectors performing welding and bolted connections; procurement and quality departments checking conformity of supplied profiles. The standard is intended for design, production control and commercial specification of rolled I‑beam products.

Related standards

Normative references include national standards for chemical analysis and steel testing (series GOST 12xxx / GOST 12344–12359 family for element determination and others), standards on steel grades and weldability (for example standards used to specify weldability or guaranteed properties), and more recent consolidated standards for I‑beams — notably the intergovernmental standard ГОСТ 35087-2024 which has been introduced to replace and unify national requirements for hot‑rolled I‑beams.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ГОСТ Р 57837-2017 is a Russian national standard titled "Двутавры стальные горячекатаные с параллельными гранями полок. Технические условия" (Hot‑rolled steel I‑beams with parallel edges of flanges — Specifications). It sets technical and acceptance requirements for hot‑rolled I‑beam profiles.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers profile types and assortment, dimensional and tolerance requirements, permitted steel grades and strength classes, mechanical and impact requirements (when required), chemical and mechanical test methods, acceptance rules, marking, packaging, transportation and storage.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Steel producers, stockists, structural and bridge engineers, fabricators, procurement and quality assurance teams — anyone specifying, manufacturing, testing or buying hot‑rolled I‑beams for construction and industrial structures.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2017 standard was officially introduced in 2018, but its national status was later changed when the new intergovernmental standard ГОСТ 35087-2024 was adopted; GOST 35087-2024 was introduced as the primary standard for hot‑rolled I‑beams and the status of ГОСТ Р 57837-2017 was updated (canceled/superseded) with effect toward the end of 2024. Users should refer to ГОСТ 35087-2024 for the currently effective consolidated requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it belongs to the family of Russian national standards for steel profiles and metallurgy (ISO classifier 77 Metallurgy). It references and interacts with other GOSTs covering chemical analysis, steel grades and weldability; since 2024 a newer intergovernmental standard (ГОСТ 35087-2024) now provides the unified normative framework for hot‑rolled I‑beams.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: I‑beams; двутавры; hot‑rolled; parallel flange edges; profiles; strength classes; test methods; marking; packaging; ГОСТ Р 57837-2017; ГОСТ 35087-2024.
