What is the purpose of a coping

K Beam

The Voortman uses a specially designed torch nozzle that will typically last about 3 – 6 months depending on how hot you run the machine. Because of the break-away head that deflects the torch nozzle, the torch nozzle is almost impossible to bend.However, the nozzles eventually get worn out due to the heat of the gases passing through the nozzle. Replacement torch tips are around $75 per tip.

Voortman can perform almost all types of structural steel fabrication from shaping beams to plate, to coping reliefs or custom profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions

H-Beams. H-beams are one of the strongest steel beams. It is composed of horizontal elements and the web by vertical beams. Popular in civil engineering and construction, the web and flanges create a cross section that is similar to the shape of the letter H.

1- T beams have a greater second moment inertia than ordinary beams. This means they are more resistant to bending.

Lightweight coping saws have a thin blade that is ideal for cutting intricate shapes and curves. Although coping saws can be easy to use, they can be intimidating.

Cladding is usually made up of thin slabs of about 3cm thickness with a front finish and placed on the walls. Copings come in different thicknesses and are located at the top of walls.

Manufacturers limit beam lengths to 60 feet due to transport issues. Others can make beams up to 80 feet long. The longest supported span using LVL is 80 feet. It is normal for continuous LVL spans to be between 20'-30'.
