IS 2002 is a Indian standard for steel plates, specifically for carbon steel plates. The "IS" stands for "Indian Standard" and the number "2002" refers to the year the standard was published. Here are some key properties and characteristics of IS 2002 steel plates: - Grade: IS 2002 - Material: Carbon Steel - Thickness: 4mm-150mm - Width: 1000mm-3000mm - Length: 3000mm-12000mm - Yield Strength: 240 MPa (min) - Tensile Strength: 410-540 MPa - Elongation: 20% (min) - Impact Test: -20°C (optional) - Heat Treatment: As rolled or normalized IS 2002 steel plates are used in various applications, including: - Structural steel - Construction equipment - Industrial machinery - Automotive parts - General engineering Note: The exact composition and properties of IS 2002 steel plates may vary depending on the specific standard or specification being followed. IS 2002 is equivalent to other international steel standards such as ASTM A36, EN 10025 S235JR, and GOST 23500 St37-2. However, the exact equivalent grade may vary depending on the specific requirements and applications.
