Common Applications of ISMC 200
ISMC 200 is used for back-to-back column pairs in prefabricated industrial buildings, gantry crane runway channels for 3–5 tonne EOT cranes, floor beams in heavy mezzanines, and stair stringers in multi-storey industrial buildings. SAIL Bhilai, JSW Vijayanagar, and Tata Steel all produce ISMC 200 in IS 2062 E250 and E300 grade as standard stock.
Worked Example
A contractor in Chennai needs 16 ISMC 200 runway channels, each 6 m long, for a 5-tonne EOT crane gantry. Total length = 16 × 6 = 96 m. Weight = 96 × 22.1 = 2,121.6 kg (2.122 tonnes). At a market rate of ₹58,500 per tonne (Chennai, May 2026), the material cost is approximately ₹1,24,110 before drilling and installation.
