Dimensions and properties as per IS 808:1989 (Reaffirmed 2001). Mass tolerance: ±3% per piece as per IS 808. u–u is the major principal axis at 45° to both legs; v–v is the minor principal axis. Zvv is not published in IS 808:1989 for angle sections.
Common Applications of ISA 60×60×6
ISA 60×60×6 is used for roof truss chord members in 8–12 m span structures, back-to-back compound column sections, diagonal bracing in multi-bay sheds, purlin cleat connections, and secondary beam brackets. Widely stocked by JSPL, Tata Steel, and RINL in IS 2062 E250 grade.
Worked Example
A structural fabricator in Bengaluru needs 14 bottom chord members of ISA 60×60×6, each 4 m long, for a 12 m span Howe truss. Total length = 14 × 4 = 56 m. Weight = 56 × 5.4 = 302.4 kg. At ₹62,000 per tonne (Bengaluru, May 2026), material cost is approximately ₹18,749.
