IS 2062 E250 BR and E250 C are structural steel grades specified under the Indian Standard IS 2062, designed for use in general engineering and construction. These grades offer a balanced combination of moderate tensile strength, excellent weldability, and reliable performance in structural and fabricated applications. The 'E250' denotes a minimum yield strength of 250 MPa, while the suffixes 'BR' and 'C' represent specific impact resistance and carbon content requirements, respectively. These steels are widely used in infrastructure projects, industrial sheds, machinery frames, and civil engineering structures, offering dependable performance at a cost-effective price point. Key Features: Minimum yield strength of 250 MPa, suitable for standard load-bearing components Good ductility and weldability, supporting all conventional fabrication methods BR Grade: Ensures impact resistance at sub-zero temperatures, enhancing safety in colder climates C Grade: Denotes controlled carbon content, leading to improved weld quality and toughness Typical Mechanical Properties: Property E250BR / E250C Yield Strength ≥ 250 MPa Tensile Strength 410–540 MPa Elongation ≥ 23% Impact Test BR: ≥ 27J at 0°C Weldability Excellent Common Applications: Construction of bridges, buildings, and steel frameworks Equipment base structures and support platforms Fabricated sections, channels, beams, and angles Storage tanks, conveyors, and machine housings Summary: IS 2062 E250 BR and E250 C are versatile, economical structural steels ideal for general fabrication. With solid mechanical strength and consistent performance in both room and sub-zero temperatures, these grades remain a trusted choice for infrastructure and industrial development projects.
