ISMC Weight Chart
The Indian Standard Medium Channel (ISMC) is a weight chart used to calculate the weight of various stainless steel products in India. The weight of these products are calculated based on the dimensions of products. This weight chart is used by manufacturers to determine the price of their products as well as by customers to compare the prices of different products. The ISMC weight chart is an important tool for both manufacturers & consumers in the steel industry in India.
What is Indian Standard Medium Channel (ISMC)?
ISMC (Indian Standard Medium Channel) is a structural steel section that is commonly applied in fabrication, construction and machinery framing. These C-shaped channels are hot-rolled with vertical web and two horizontal flanges, rendering a very good combination of strength and lightness.
Applications It is commonly used in:
- Equipment framing
- Building supports
- Sheds, railings and stairs structural arrangements.
ISMC channels are manufactured to the IS 808 standards and come in grades of E250, E275, E300, E350 and E410 (IS 2062). These MS channels are made in different sizes and qualities by dominant manufacturers in India. Our correct ISMC Weight Chart (kg/m) or Channel Weight Calculator to determine the computed weight of the unit weight of standard sizes such as ISMC 75, ISMC 100, ISMC 150 and 1001.
