NM500 properties equivalent indian standard

    
    IS:2062 is the Indian Standard for structural steel for general purpose applications. This standard covers rolling and cutting tolerances, chemical composition limits, marks, and other requirements to ensure that these structural steel products are suitable for structural applications. IS:2062 covers structural steel ranging from grades E250 to E650, but the most popular grade is E350, which has comparable properties and strength as compared to S355 grade of European standard EN 10025.
    
    IS:2062 is known for its highly corrosion resistant properties, and is often used in construction and engineering applications, especially in bridges and other public facilities. These structural steel products are also used in transport, agriculture, chemical and other industries. The steel grade is classified by different standards such as the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) and German Standards (DIN).
    
    The equivalent of IS:2062 in terms of international grade is ASTM A656 grade 80. This is a high strength low alloy steel also known as HSLA-80, which is a popular material for structural steel applications. It provides a yield strength of 80ksi and a tensile strength of 95ksi, which is similar to the properties of IS:2062 E350 grade. This grade of steel is used in various applications from construction to transportation, agriculture, and other industries.
    
    ASTM A656 grade 80 meets all the requirements of IS:2062 E350 grade and can be used in any construction or engineering application. It is easily weldable, formable, and machinable, making it an ideal choice for any industry. Its properties make it a better choice compared to other structural steel grades.
