Hot Rolled Medium and High Tensile Structural Steel — Specification
Overview
What this standard covers
The main Indian structural steel material standard, with grades E250 through E450 and quality classes A, BR, B0 and C set by impact requirements.
Chemical composition and mechanical properties for hot rolled structural steel plates, sections and flats.
Who uses it
Specifiers, buyers and mills confirming what a grade guarantees before it is ordered or substituted.

References
Final member selection, loading, connection design, fire design, fabrication and compliance must be verified for your specific project by a suitably qualified structural engineer. Standards are revised; check the edition in force where the work is built.
Verification
StructuralSteel.ai provides technical reference information and links to authoritative sources. Project specifications, applicable legislation, current standards editions and requirements of the responsible engineer or authority should always be verified before fabrication or supply.
