Less-Than-Prime© Steel I-Beam
Buy Surplus Steel I-Beams for Construction Needs.
Texas Iron & Metal supplies quality surplus steel I-beams for construction and structural applications. Our Less-Than-Prime© (LTP) inventory offers a dependable, cost-effective option when prime structural steel is not required.
Known for their distinctive “I” shape, steel I-beams feature horizontal flanges and a vertical web that work together to support heavy loads efficiently. Even with minor surface imperfections, surplus steel I-beams deliver the strength and performance required for a wide range of construction applications.
The thickness of the I-beam will determine the type of jobs it is best suited for. It is important to consider the force applied, the weight carried, and the tension and compression. Smaller sizes are normally used for jobs where the amount of pressure and weight will be minimal, while larger, thicker sizes of steel I-beams are used to support structures that bear greater amounts of weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Less-Than-Prime© (LTP) steel or pipe?
LTP© is the term we use for any type of material that may not be in good enough condition to be sold as prime quality. It could be overstock, odd size, rusty, clean, pitted, damaged, reject, miscut or, in some cases, just a great buy! In many cases, LTP© products don’t have mill test reports available.
What grades of steel and pipe do you stock in LTP©?
While our LTP© steel and pipe is purchased in many different grades and types, we don’t sell it as a certain grade of material unless it is certified to be that grade and/or has mill test reports. In many cases, we mark the material with the information that it had mentioned on it when it came to us. We can’t be certain as to the grade, so use this information at your own risk.
How much should I expect to save by purchasing LTP© steel or pipe?
Unless you need mill certification for your material or you must have very clean material, we feel that it is of a great value to buy our LTP© steel or pipe. Our customers typically save from 10-40% or more, depending on the type of material purchased.
