MS angles

Mild steel angles go into transmission towers, sheds, trusses, frames, racks and supports. They are rolled by primary mills and by a large number of secondary re-rollers, so the same section can come at very different rates and qualities. Float your requirement once and compare verified sellers on landed cost.

Equal and unequal angles

An angle is described as leg x leg x thickness in mm - for example 65 x 65 x 6 (equal) or 100 x 75 x 8 (unequal). Sizes follow IS 808; the steel is normally IS 2062 E250. Small angles (around 20-40 mm legs) are common in fabrication and grills; 50-110 mm for sheds and towers; heavier sections for industrial structures.

From (A + B - t) x t x 0.00785, ignoring the root radius. Bill on the mill's section table or weighbridge, as agreed.

What to put in an angle inquiry

  1. Section-wise list: size, thickness and tonnes.
  2. Grade (IS 2062 E250 or as per drawing) and whether a test certificate is needed.
  3. Make: primary mill, specific re-roller, or any.
  4. Length: standard or cut length; galvanising if needed.
  5. Delivery site, date, unloading and payment terms.

Where angles are rolled

Large volumes of angles come from re-rolling clusters such as Mandi Gobindgarh and Raipur, and from primary producers. Buyers in consuming cities like Mumbai and Delhi usually buy through stockists.

How buying works on the portal

On Indian Steel Portal you float one inquiry for MS angles - 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 HSN code for MS angles?

HSN 7216 (angles, shapes and sections of iron or non-alloy steel), at 18% GST.

How is an MS angle size written?

As leg x leg x thickness in millimetres, for example 50 x 50 x 6. If both legs are equal it is an equal angle; otherwise unequal.

What is the weight of a 50 x 50 x 6 angle?

About 4.4 kg per metre by the approximate formula; the published section weight is slightly higher because of the root radius.

Are angles from re-rollers acceptable?

For many fabrication jobs, yes, if they meet the grade and dimensions. Where your design or client requires IS 2062 with a test certificate, ask for it in the inquiry.

Can I buy galvanised angles?

Yes - mention hot-dip galvanising and the coating requirement in your inquiry.
