Structural Steel Grades (IS 2062)

IS 2062 covers hot-rolled structural steel. Grade sets the yield strength, which sizes the required section.

GradeOld designationMin yield (approx.)
E250Fe410250 MPa
E300Fe440300 MPa
E350Fe490350 MPa
E410Fe540410 MPa
E450Fe570450 MPa

Yield strength reduces slightly for thicker sections per IS 2062. E250 and E350 are the most common in solar and structural steelwork.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most common structural steel grade?
E250 (Fe410); E350 (Fe490) is used where higher strength allows lighter sections.
