JIS SS400 Equal Leg Steel Angle
Equal-leg angles offer a practical L-section for frames, brackets and general fabrication. SS400 is a general structural steel grade. Specify the required material standard and dimensional series together rather than substituting by a similar-looking metric size.
| Ordering item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Material / standard | JIS G3101 material / JIS G3192 geometry where ordered |
| Product family | Angles |
| Supply basis | Enquiry-based grade, dimensions, processing and quantity; availability, MOQ and delivery confirmed in the quotation. |
| Inspection documents | Request heat/batch records and EN 10204 3.1 or other documents where required; actual document scope must be confirmed. |
01 / Selection Advantages
- Clear leg/thickness notation helps prevent procurement and cutting-list errors.
- Cutting, holes and coating preparation can be reviewed with the buyer’s fabrication drawings.
- JIS-specific grade review avoids an unsupported assumption of equivalence to EN grades.
02 / Specifications & Size Schedule
Use the following options to prepare a complete enquiry. The lists do not imply that every dimension combination is stocked or interchangeable with another standard. State the required tolerances and quantity for each line.
| Parameter | Enquiry requirement |
|---|---|
| Section notation | A × B × t; equal legs A=B |
| Requested length / m | 6, 9, 12 or agreed cut lengths |
| Surface | As rolled; preparation/paint/galvanizing by separate agreement |
| Dimensional acceptance | Agree standard edition, leg/thickness tolerance and straightness |
| Chemistry control | SS400 does not prescribe C/Si/Mn limits in the referenced grade table |
| A × B / mm | Thickness enquiries / mm |
|---|---|
| 25 × 25 | 3 |
| 30 × 30 | 3, 4 |
| 40 × 40 | 3, 4, 5 |
| 50 × 50 | 4, 5, 6 |
| 65 × 65 | 6, 8 |
| 75 × 75 | 6, 9 |
| 90 × 90 | 7, 10 |
| 100 × 100 | 7, 10, 13 |
| 125 × 125 | 9, 12 |
| 150 × 150 | 12, 15 |
03 / Chemical Composition
Composition is expressed in weight percent. Maximum and minimum limits refer to the listed grade/product reference; final acceptance follows the agreed standard edition and heat analysis.
| Element | Grade reference / wt.% |
|---|---|
| C | Not specified by JIS G3101 for SS400 |
| Si | Not specified |
| Mn | Not specified |
| P | ≤0.050 |
| S | ≤0.050 |
| Fe | Balance |
04 / Mechanical Properties & Technical Notes
| Thickness / mm | Min yield / MPa | Tensile / MPa | Elongation reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| t ≤16 | 245 | 400–510 | 17% with No.1A specimen for 5 < t ≤16; specimen/size provisions apply |
| 16 < t ≤40 | 235 | 400–510 | 21% with No.1A specimen; confirm actual section thickness |
The table is a selected enquiry schedule, not a complete JIS availability declaration. Confirm the rolled series and actual thickness combination before order. SS400 does not carry a general Charpy impact requirement; projects requiring impact performance need a suitable specification rather than an assumed JR/J0/J2 equivalence.
05 / Processing & Inspection
| Control point | What to agree or inspect |
|---|---|
| Geometry | Measure both legs, thickness, length, out-of-square and straightness. |
| Identity | Match JIS grade, heat and ordered dimensions to material records. |
| Processing | Agree saw cuts, drilling, marking and surface preparation from drawings. |
| Welding/design | Request additional chemistry/carbon-equivalent controls if required by the welding procedure. |
Include additional tests, third-party inspection, marking transfer and processing requirements before order confirmation. Qida can coordinate the agreed inspection scope and supporting records; an online product guide is not a delivered-batch test certificate.
06 / Export Packaging & Transport
| Packing item | Practical requirement |
|---|---|
| Size segregation | Bundle sections by size/grade/length and transfer clear heat/order labels. |
| Protection | Use suitable spacers, strap guards and dry supports; separate finished faces. |
| Handling | Agree bundle weight, sling positions and access for the destination equipment. |
| Loading plan | Support long sections, distribute mass and secure against sliding and tipping. |
Agree destination port, Incoterms rule and named place, package mass, unloading equipment and required shipping documents. Container capacity depends on payload limits, route and load distribution. For regulated solid-wood packaging, confirm the applicable ISPM 15 treatment and marking requirements.
07 / Qida Procurement Support
| Order stage | Our coordination | Buyer benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Specification review | Review material, dimensions, units, drawings and destination requirements. | A clear line-by-line enquiry helps reduce omissions and incompatible substitutions. |
| Processing plan | Confirm cutting, finishing, inspection and identification items in writing. | The buyer can assess scope and acceptance before production or sourcing proceeds. |
| Packing & dispatch | Coordinate labels, packing list, suitable protection and shipping-document requirements. | Piece count and heat/lot correspondence can be checked at agreed milestones. |
| After-sales follow-up | Review order references, arrival photos and inspection records for reported issues. | A documented issue description supports a specific response and follow-up. |
08 / Request a Detailed Quotation
Send the standard and edition, grade, size schedule, quantity per size, material condition, finish, processing drawings, tests/documents, packing requirements and destination port. Include maximum piece or package weight and any project approval requirements. Pricing, minimum quantity and lead time will be confirmed against the actual requirement.
