ISMC Weight Chart
The Indian Standard Medium Channel (ISMC) is a weight chart used to calculate the weight of various steel products in India. The weights are calculated based on the dimensions of the products, such as width, height, and length. This weight chart is used by manufacturers to determine the price of their products, as well as by customers to compare the prices of different products. The ISMC weight chart is an important tool for both manufacturers and consumers in the steel industry in India.

How to calculate the weight of the MS channel?
Mild Steel channels embody a distinctive U-shaped design crafted from steel, characterized by the measurements of its sides and thickness. These channels consist of two integral components: the flange and the web base. The flange pertains to the horizontal section, while the web represents the vertical section on the top.
A notable feature of MS channels is their uneven side dimensions. Consider, for instance, a channel with measurements of 100×50×5 mm. In this case, both the web and flange sides of the Mild Steel channel measure 100 mm and 50 mm respectively, with a uniform thickness of 5 mm.
MS channel size
An MS channel is made up of two key components: the flange and the web. These channels are available in various sizes, spanning from 75×40×4.8 mm to 400×100×8.8 mm. The weight of an MS channel is determined by measuring it in kilograms per meter or kilograms per feet. Naturally, channels with larger dimensions will possess a higher weight value, while those with smaller dimensions will have a relatively lower weight value.
To illustrate, let’s consider an MS channel with dimensions of 100×50×5 mm.
Mild Steel Channel Unit Weight
The unit weight of an MS channel is calculated using the formula weight = volume density, with steel having a density of 7850 kg/m3. To determine the volume, multiply the web’s height by the flange’s width and the channel’s thickness.
Mild Steel Channel Weight in kg per Meter
MS Web Volume
MS Channel Size = 100×50×5 mm
Web Depth = 100 mm =0.1m
Web Thickness = 5 mm=0.005 m
Web Length = 1 m
Volume = l×b×h
Volume = 0.1×0.005×1 m3
Web Volume = 0.0005 m3
Two flange Volume
MS Channel Size = 100×50×5 mm
Flange Width = 50_5 mm =45mm=0.045 m
Flange Thickness = 5 mm=0.005 m
Flange Length = 1 m
Volume = l×b×h
Volume = 0.045×0.005×1 m3
Flange Volume = 0.000225 m3
Two Flange Volume = 0.000225×2 m3
Two Flange Volume of = 0.000450 m3
MS channel Total volume
Total volume = volume of flange+ volume of web
Total volume = 0.000450 +0.0005 m3
Total volume =0.000950m3
4) Weight of MS channel
Weight = volume× density
Volume = 0.000950 m3
Density of steel = 7850 kg/m3
Weight = 0.000950m3×7850 kg/m3
Weight of MS channel = 7.45 kg/m
Ans: MS channel unit weight will be 7.45 kg
