HR coils, sheets and plates

Hot rolled flat steel comes as coils, cut sheets and plates. Pipe makers, fabricators, OEMs and builders all buy it - and each needs a different thickness, width, grade and finish. Float your exact specification once and let verified mills, service centres and stockists quote.

Grades and standards

What to put in an HR inquiry

  1. Form: coil, sheet or plate; mill edge or trimmed edge.
  2. Grade and standard, for example IS 2062 E250 BR.
  3. Thickness and width, with tolerances if critical.
  4. Length (for sheets/plates) or coil weight and inner diameter (for coils).
  5. Quantity in tonnes, delivery site and date.
  6. Test certificate required or not; payment terms.

Weight formula

Plate or sheet weight in kg = length (m) x width (m) x thickness (mm) x 7.85. A 6 m x 1.5 m plate of 10 mm weighs 6 x 1.5 x 10 x 7.85 = 706.5 kg. For coils, the invoice follows the weighbridge.

How buying works on the portal

On Indian Steel Portal you float one inquiry for HR coils, sheets or plates - grade, sizes, quantity, preferred makes, delivery city and payment terms. KYC-verified mills, stockists and traders quote against it in a live reverse auction with a minimum decrement and a soft-close, ranked L1 to L4 on landed cost. You award L1 or any ranked bidder, and the deal note - with GST, MTC and weighment terms - is generated for both sides.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between HR and CR steel?

HR (hot rolled) is rolled at high temperature and has a scaled surface and wider tolerances. CR (cold rolled) is HR rolled again at room temperature for a thinner, smoother, more accurate sheet, and costs more.

What is the HSN code for HR coil?

HSN 7208 for hot rolled flat products 600 mm or wider; 7211 for narrower strip. GST is 18%.

What does E250 BR mean?

E250 is the IS 2062 grade with a minimum yield strength of 250 N/mm2. BR is the quality level - impact tested at room temperature where specified.

Can I order cut-to-size sheets?

Yes. Give the thickness, width, length and quantity; service centres and stockists that cut to length will quote.

How is the weight of a plate calculated?

Length in metres x width in metres x thickness in mm x 7.85 gives the weight in kg.
