SAIL ANGLE & CHANNEL
SAIL ANGLE & CHANNEL
SAIL Angle and SAIL Channel are structural steel products manufactured by the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL). These products are widely used in construction, infrastructure, and various industrial applications due to their high strength, durability, and versatility.
SAIL Angle
A SAIL Angle refers to a structural steel bar that has an “L” shape, commonly known as an angle iron. It has two legs (flanges) of varying or equal lengths, with a right-angle bend in the middle. These angles come in different sizes and thicknesses and are categorized as Equal Angles (with equal leg lengths) or Unequal Angles (with different leg lengths).
Applications:
1. Construction: Used in constructing frames for buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure projects.
2. Industrial Structures: Commonly used in the construction of industrial sheds, towers, and plant structures.
3. Machinery Frames: Frequently used as support frames for heavy machinery and equipment.
4. Transmission Towers: SAIL Angles are often used in the construction of electrical transmission towers and communication towers.
5. Bracing and Reinforcements: Angles are used to brace steel structures, reinforcing them against external forces like wind or seismic activities.
Specifications:
• Size Range: SAIL Angles are available in a wide range of sizes, typically from 25 mm x 25 mm to 200 mm x 200 mm.
• Thickness: They come in various thicknesses, ranging from 3 mm to 20 mm, depending on the strength and application requirements.
• Material Grades: Available in various grades, such as IS 2062, to meet the strength requirements of different projects.
SAIL Channel
A SAIL Channel refers to a U-shaped steel section that is widely used for structural support. The channel’s cross-section resembles a squared-off letter “U,” with a flat back and two flanges. These channels are commonly known as C-channels or U-channels, depending on their specific shapes and dimensions.
Applications:
1. Structural Support: Commonly used in construction projects to support floors, walls, and roofs in both residential and commercial buildings.
2. Bridges and Infrastructure: Used in bridges and other infrastructure projects where high strength and stability are required.
3. Vehicle Frames: SAIL Channels are often used in the production of truck beds, trailers, and other vehicle frames due to their strength and durability.
4. Railway Tracks: Employed in the construction of railway tracks, ensuring stability and longevity.
5. Industrial Structures: Widely used in industrial sheds, platforms, and as support beams in factories and warehouses.
Specifications:
• Size Range: SAIL Channels come in various sizes, typically ranging from 75 mm x 40 mm to 400 mm x 100 mm.
• Thickness: These channels are available in thicknesses ranging from 4 mm to 20 mm, depending on the load-bearing requirements.
• Material Grades: Manufactured in grades such as IS 2062 to meet the standards for construction and heavy-duty applications.
In Summary:
SAIL Angles and SAIL Channels are high-quality structural steel products manufactured by SAIL, known for their strength, versatility, and durability. They are widely used in construction, infrastructure, industrial, and mechanical applications, offering reliable performance and long-lasting support in critical projects. Their availability in various sizes and grades makes them suitable for a wide range of construction and engineering purposes.
