IS 2062:2006 E165 Steel: Specifications & Listings
IS 2062:2006 E165: E165 is grade E 165 in IS 2062:2006 (Hot Rolled Low, Medium and High Tensile Structural Steel), which covers plates, strips, shapes, sections, flats and bars for structural work. Old designation Fe 290. This is the edition as first published in October 2006, before Amendment No. 1 (March 2009); impact test temperature is subject to agreement.
Matched by chemical composition and mechanical properties, not a formal equivalence claim. Always verify against the applicable standard before substitution.
