IS 2062 E250 Equivalent Material

IS 2062 E250 corresponds to several international structural steel standards. The table below covers the primary equivalents for cross-standard procurement.

Standard Designation
IS 2062:2011 E250 (Fe 410WA)
JIS G3101 SS400
GB/T 700 Q235B
DIN 17100 (superseded) St 44-2

For US-standard projects, compare with ASTM A36 Plate for the equivalent specification.

IS 2062 E250 Sub-Grades

IS 2062 E250 is available in 4 sub-grades: E250A, E250B, E250BR, and E250C. The primary differences are in the deoxidation method and impact testing requirements.

E250A (Fe 410WA)

E250A is the most common sub-grade, produced as killed or semi-killed steel with no mandatory impact test. This grade is specified for building frames, transmission towers, and column sections. It is the most economical option in the E250 range.

E250B (Fe 410WB)

This sub-grade uses fully killed steel with improved impact properties over E250A. Buyers may request impact testing at the time of ordering. E250B serves moderate-responsibility structural projects.

E250BR

E250BR is fully killed steel with a mandatory Charpy impact test at room temperature (27 J minimum). Bridge fabrication, heavy equipment structures, and critical steelwork where verified toughness is required at ambient conditions commonly need this sub-grade.

E250C (Fe 410WC)

The most stringent sub-grade, E250C, requires impact testing at 0 degrees C with a 27 J minimum. Cold-region infrastructure and low-temperature structural applications specify E250C when operating conditions drop below ambient.

IS 2062 E250 Sheet & Plate Industrial Applications

IS 2062 E250 mild steel sheet and plate serve a broad range of structural and fabrication applications. Three major sectors account for most of the demand: construction and infrastructure, automobile and transportation, and industrial equipment fabrication.

Construction & Infrastructure

E250 steel plate is used for building columns, beams, base plates, and gusset connections in multi-storey structures. Bridges, flyovers, and transmission tower base sections use this for its weldability and load-bearing capacity.

Automobile & Transportation

Chassis frames, trailer bodies, and rail coach structural components use IS 2062 E250 plate in thicknesses from 5 mm to 20 mm. The low carbon content supports press forming and bending without cracking during fabrication.

Industrial Equipment & Fabrication

E250 MS plates are used to fabricate tanks, hoppers, conveyor frames, and general machine bases. Its combination of 410 MPa tensile strength, good weldability, and cost efficiency makes it practical for high-volume fabrication work.
