A tee section with a bulb rolled on the lower extremity of the stem constitutes the useful section known as "bulb tee" or "deck beam." This section is used to a considerable extent in shipbuilding, and occasionally in purlins and similar beams. The moment of inertia is increased by the bulb, which also forms a finish to the lower edge of the stem, which is usually rolled with parallel sides, the top table or flange having a taper similar to the flange of a rolled joist. The area of the bulb and relative thickness of stem and flange vary somewhat in different rolling mills, but are standardized in the British standard section.

The following tables give the dimensions, sectional area, weight per foot run, greatest moment of inertia, position of centre of gravity, and least radius of gyration, for ordinary tees and for bulb tees of average proportions of stem, flange, and bulbs.
