JIS G3192-2008 is a Japanese Industrial Standard for the dimensions and quality of hot rolled steel sections and their permissible tolerances.
The standard specifies the material, size, shape, weight, and allowable deviation of hot rolled steel sections. The materials are, for example, A36, SS400 and so on. The dimensions cover various specifications of steel sections, which are expressed in various ways, such as the specifications of equilateral angle steel are expressed in terms of the number of millimeters of side width × side width × side thickness, such as 65×65×6, which means that the width of the side is 65 millimeters and the thickness of the side is 6 millimeters of the equilateral angle steel; it is also available in the model number, and the model number is the number of centimeters of the width of the side.
As for the shape of hot rolled steel section, JIS G3192-2008 also has certain provisions for its geometric deviation, generally including curvature, side width, side thickness, top angle, theoretical weight and other items, and stipulates that the angle shall not have significant torsion.
In terms of weight, the standard specifies the corresponding weight of various specifications of steel sections.
The hot rolled steel sections covered by the standard have a variety of features and advantages. They usually have high structural strength, are more uniform in size and cross-section, have good plasticity and workability, and provide better support for structures.
They are very versatile and can be used in a wide range of applications. In the building structure, it can be used for beams, bridges, etc.; in the industrial field, it is suitable for steel structure load-bearing bracket, industrial equipment structure, etc.; in machinery manufacturing, it can be used as the frame structure of machinery; in the transportation industry, it can be used for the beam support of trains, automobiles, and tractors; and it is also used in the construction of infrastructures such as conveyor belts of harbors, and highway stalls brackets.
It should be noted that JIS G3192-2008 has been replaced by the new version JIS G3192-2014, in practical application, it is recommended to refer to the latest standard to get the most accurate information.
