FAQs — IS 808 Beams

IS 808 Beams: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers on sizes, thickness, weight, grades, MTC, pricing and ordering — so your enquiry is specification-ready before you send it.

01
What does IS 808 specify for steel beams?
IS 808 Beams refers to Indian dimensional and sectional requirements for hot-rolled steel beam sections. It is used in Indian structural frameworks, bridges, industrial structures and machinery supports. For structural work, the exact section, material grade, standard and connection detail must follow the approved drawings and calculations; a product-family name does not establish a safe load.
02
Is IS 808 a material grade?
IS 808 is not, by itself, a material grade. It addresses dimensional, sectional or tolerance requirements relevant to the named product. The purchase order must separately state the steel grade and grade standard so chemistry, strength, toughness and weldability requirements are unambiguous.
03
How is IS 808 different from IS 2062?
IS 808 deals with dimensions and sectional properties for hot-rolled structural sections, while IS 2062 specifies material-grade requirements. A compliant order may need both: one to identify the section geometry and another to define chemistry and mechanical properties. State the applicable editions in the BOQ.
04
How does an IS 808 dimensional requirement work alongside the material grade?
IS 808 works alongside, not instead of, the material-grade standard. The dimensional or tolerance document controls geometry-related acceptance, while the grade standard controls chemistry and mechanical requirements. Both should be identified where the project specification requires them.
05
What size and thickness range is stated for IS 808 beams?
The stated page range is 75 x 40 mm to 400 x 100 mm, with thickness listed as 3 mm to 25 mm. The exact section must be verified against the applicable IS 808 table and project edition. Section availability, mass and tolerances should be confirmed for the ordered designation.
06
Which IS 808 requirements should be stated in the purchase order?
State the exact IS 808 requirement, applicable edition, section designation and the dimensional items to be inspected. Also state the material grade, because IS 808 does not by itself confirm chemistry or strength. Acceptance criteria should match the approved project specification.
07
Can a non-IS 808 section be substituted automatically?
No. An equivalent-grade table concerns material cross-references and cannot prove compliance with IS 808 dimensional or tolerance requirements. Verify the delivered section geometry and permissible deviations against the specified standard, while checking the material grade separately through the MTC.
08
What should a buyer verify in an IS 808 section table?
Check section depth, flange width, web and flange thickness, root radius, unit mass, sectional area and relevant section properties shown by the specified IS 808 table. Also verify tolerances and edition. Do not calculate structural capacity from a sales-page size list.
09
What is the current commercial rate for IS 808 Beams per kg?
A fixed current IS 808 Beams price per kg should not be published because steel input cost, grade, section mass, quantity, length, finish and market date change. Provide the exact section, standard, total tonnage and delivery postcode for a dated quotation, and confirm GST, freight and fabrication inclusions.
10
Can IS 808 Beams be quoted on a per-tonne basis?
Yes, IS 808 Beams can be requested on a dated per-tonne basis for a defined specification. State the section, grade, standards, length, quantity, finish, MTC, inspection and destination. Compare quotations on the same weight basis, tax, freight, cutting and documentation terms.
11
What commercial items affect the landed price of IS 808 Beams?
The landed cost of IS 808 Beams depends on base steel price, grade, unit mass, size availability, order mix, length, cutting, drilling, finish, testing, inspection, packing and transport. Mixed or uncommon sections may have different conversion and logistics costs from a repetitive bulk order.
12
How is the MOQ confirmed for IS 808 Beams?
The page states an MOQ of 1 tonne. MOQ should still be confirmed where the order mixes sizes, asks for uncommon sections, special lengths, coatings, third-party inspection or export packing. Send the piece count and tonnage for every line item.
13
How should stock availability for IS 808 Beams be checked?
Do not assume every IS 808 Beams section, grade and length is ready stock. Availability must be checked against the exact specification, quantity and enquiry date. If the programme is critical, state the required delivery date and ask the quotation to identify the stock, mill or production basis.
14
Can buyers request heat traceability and an MTC for IS 808 Beams?
An MTC requirement for IS 808 Beams should be stated before ordering. Specify certificate type, heat or batch traceability, grade standard, subgrade and any project format. Check that the certificate relates to the supplied markings and ordered thickness; a generic document does not prove project compliance.
15
What should third-party inspection cover for IS 808 Beams?
Inspection for IS 808 Beams should verify identification, section dimensions, web and flange thickness, length, straightness, surface condition, quantity, marking and MTC traceability. If third-party inspection is required, state the agency, inspection stage, hold points, acceptance criteria and required reports in the enquiry.
16
Can IS 808 Beams be supplied to a cutting or drilling drawing?
Cutting, drilling or fabrication for IS 808 Beams can be reviewed from an approved drawing. Provide cut lengths, hole diameters and centres, copes, notches, end plates, weld details, tolerances and piece marks. Structural connections and welding procedures remain subject to engineer and fabricator approval.
17
Which surface condition should be specified for IS 808 Beams?
The live page refers to hot-rolled, galvanised or customer-specified finishes for IS 808 Beams. State the required surface preparation, paint or galvanising standard, coating inspection and cut-edge repair. Coating does not replace corrosion design, drainage, maintenance or fire-protection requirements.
18
Which industries buy IS 808 Beams?
IS 808 Beams is considered for Indian structural frameworks, bridges, industrial structures and machinery supports. Suitability depends on section properties, grade, span, restraints, loading, connections, exposure and fire requirements. For any load-bearing use, the final section and grade must follow approved calculations, drawings, BOQ and project standards.
19
Does Ferrite review India and export enquiries for IS 808 Beams?
Ferrite can review IS 808 Beams enquiries for Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, nearby states, India-wide supply and export requirements. Availability and logistics depend on the exact size and quantity. Provide the delivery postcode or destination port, unloading constraints, Incoterm and required date.
20
Which details prevent delays in a IS 808 Beams quotation?
For a fast IS 808 Beams quotation, send the section designation, profile, dimensions, unit mass if specified, grade, standards, length, pieces, tonnage, finish, make preference, MTC and inspection requirements. Add fabrication drawings, delivery postcode or port, Incoterm and required date where applicable.
