Length range and application of common angle steel

Oct 10, 2024

Angle steel is a widely used building material, valued for its sharp edges, well-defined corners, and excellent load-bearing capacity. Some common specifications and sizes of angle steel include:

20×20×3mm

25×25×3mm

30×30×3mm

40×40×3mm

50×50×4mm

60×60×5mm

 

While these represent some standard sizes, angle steel comes in many other dimensions to meet various project needs.

 

Length Ranges for Different Types of Angle Steel:

The length of angle steel varies depending on the production process and type. Below are the typical length ranges for several common types:

- Ordinary Angle Steel: Usually available in 6-meter or 12-meter lengths, with custom lengths available upon request.

 

- Hot-Rolled Angle Steel: Typically available in 6-meter or 9-meter lengths, though custom lengths can be provided. Hot-rolled angle steel is produced from steel rods and formed into a variety of sizes. It can exceed 12 meters in length and is widely used in machinery manufacturing, textile chemicals, and bridge construction.

 

- Cold-Drawn Angle Steel: Generally offered in 4-meter or 6-meter lengths, with custom lengths available. This type is suitable for industries such as machinery manufacturing, construction, metallurgy, and shipbuilding.

 

- Cold-Bent Angle Steel: Different from cold-drawn and hot-rolled varieties, cold-bent angle steel is forged at low temperatures. It usually comes in lengths ranging from 2 to 6 meters and is used in building structures, vehicle manufacturing, and shipbuilding.

 

- Welded Angle Steel: Typically comes in 6-meter or 12-meter lengths, though customized lengths are available for specific requirements.

 

Applications of Angle Steel Based on Length:

The application of angle steel depends on its length:

2-6 meters: Ideal for smaller steel structures, such as bridge construction and highway guardrails.

6-12 meters: Suitable for larger steel structures in high-rise buildings, transportation vehicles, etc.

Over 12 meters: Commonly used in ports, bulk cargo operations, and marine loading/unloading applications.

 

In summary, angle steel is a versatile building material, playing a critical role in construction, machinery manufacturing, and industrial production. Choosing the correct length of angle steel for specific applications can enhance material efficiency and meet project requirements effectively.
