Do you have questions?
- MS Angles are L-shaped sections mainly used for reinforcement.
- MS Channels are C-shaped, used in fabrication and structural support.
- MS I Beams have an “I” cross-section, designed for heavy load-bearing applications.
I Beams and H Beams provide high load-bearing capacity and stability, making them essential in bridges, multi-story buildings, and heavy industrial structures.
Equal angles have both legs of the same length, while unequal angles have different leg lengths, allowing flexibility in design and load distribution.
Yes, MS Angles, Channels, and Beams can be supplied in galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in outdoor and marine applications.
