Overview of Stainless Steel Angle Steel: Weight, Specifications, and Applications
1. Types and Categories
Stainless steel angles are classified into:
Equal-sided angles: Both sides are of equal width.
Unequal-sided angles: Sides differ in width, further categorized into equal-thickness and unequal-thickness types.
∠25×25×3: An equal-sided angle with 25 mm sides and 3 mm thickness.
Alternatively, model numbers (e.g., ∠3#) may be used, indicating side width in centimeters. However, these do not specify thickness, so contracts should list full specifications to avoid errors.
3. Dimensions
Domestic stainless steel angles are available in sizes ranging from 2# to 20#.
Large sizes: Side lengths over 12.5 cm.
Medium sizes: Side lengths between 5 cm and 12.5 cm.
Small sizes: Side lengths below 5 cm.
Imported angles often include detailed dimensions and comply with specific standards.
4. Common Applications
Stainless steel angles are versatile and widely used in:
Construction frameworks (beams, bridges, towers).
Industrial equipment (furnaces, reaction towers, machinery).
Storage solutions (shelves, container racks).
They serve as structural components or connectors due to their high weldability, plasticity, and mechanical strength.
5. Manufacturing and Delivery
Material: Produced from low-carbon billets, angles are delivered in hot-rolled, normalized, or hot-rolled state.
Length options:
Domestic: 3-9 m, 4-12 m, 4-19 m, or 6-19 m, based on specifications.
Japanese: Typically 6-15 m.
6. Order Customization
Orders are tailored to specific dimensions, thickness, and standards required.
Grades align with equivalent carbon steel grades, as stainless steel angles do not have a distinct composition or performance series.
7. Theoretical Weight Table
Below are examples of specifications and corresponding theoretical weights (in kilograms):
Specification | Weight | Specification | Weight | Specification | Weight | Specification | Weight |
25×3 | 1.124 | 100×6 | 9.366 | 25×16×3 | 0.912 | 100×63×6 | 7.550 |
30×3 | 1.373 | 100×8 | 12.276 | 40×25×3 | 1.484 | 100×80×7 | 9.656 |
50×4 | 3.059 | 125×12 | 22.696 | 63×40×5 | 3.920 | 160×100×12 | 23.592 |
