ISA 150×150×12 Weight, Dimensions and IS 808 Properties

ISA 150×150×12 weighs 27.2 kg per metre as per IS 808:1989.

  • One 6-metre length weighs 163.2 kg · one 12-metre length weighs 326.4 kg
  • Leg 150 mm × thickness 12 mm · root radius 16.0 mm
  • Cross-sectional area 34.58 cm² · Iuu = 665.0 cm⁴

ISA 150×150×12 is a large heavy structural equal-leg angle in IS 808:1989. At 27.2 kg/m it is used for heavily loaded primary chord members in long-span heavy trusses, back-to-back compound column sections in large industrial frames, and primary heavy bracing in large plant structures.

Common Applications of ISA 150×150×12

ISA 150×150×12 is used for heavily loaded primary truss chord members in 32–42 m span industrial structures, back-to-back compound column sections under very high axial load, primary heavy wind bracing members, and large high-load bolted connections. Available from JSPL and Tata Steel.

Worked Example

A structural engineer in Chennai specifies ISA 150×150×12 for 8 primary chord members, each 6 m long, for a 40 m span heavy process building truss. Total length = 8 × 6 = 48 m. Weight = 48 × 27.2 = 1,305.6 kg (1.306 tonnes). At ₹62,000 per tonne (Chennai, May 2026), material cost is approximately ₹80,947.
