Specifications and dimensions
- Identify equal or unequal angle by leg widths, thickness, root radius and ordered length.
- State leg and thickness tolerances, squareness, camber, twist, end condition and hole or cut requirements.

ASTM A36 Steel Angle
ASTM A36 steel angle for general welded, bolted and riveted structural work; order the exact product form, section, dimensions and supplementary requirements.
03Grade-product
Standards and supply condition
- ASTM A36/A36M material specification
- ASTM A6/A6M general requirements for the applicable rolled product
Manufacturing and processing
- Angles are normally hot rolled; cold-formed or welded angles must be identified because geometry and residual stress differ.
- Cutting, punching, drilling, galvanizing and fabrication can change edge, hole and distortion acceptance.
Typical applications
- Bracing, frames and secondary structural members
- Towers, racks, platforms and equipment supports
- Connection and edge members in fabricated assemblies
Quality and acceptance controls
- Match grade, heat number, product form, dimensions and ordered ASTM edition to the mill test report.
- Verify dimensional tolerances, straightness or flatness, surface condition, marking and traceability under ASTM A6/A6M.
- Order impact testing, ultrasonic examination, carbon-equivalent reporting or other supplementary requirements when the design requires them.
Include in your RFQ
- Exact alloy or grade and governing product specification
- Product form, dimensions, tolerances and quantity
- Delivery condition or temper and required surface finish
- Fabrication route, service environment and design standard
- Testing, inspection, certificate and traceability requirements
- Packing, marking, destination and required delivery date
Selection limits
- The grade does not by itself establish structural capacity, notch toughness, weld procedure, corrosion protection or suitability for a specific code.
- Plate, sheet, bar and structural shape availability and property limits vary with thickness, section and the current product standard.
