The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) has established several standards for various types of steel products, including steel angles. The ASTM standard for steel angles is ASTM A36.
ASTM A36 is a specification covering carbon structural steel shapes, including angles, channels, and beams. It is a widely used standard in the United States and is commonly used in the fabrication and construction of structural steel components, including steel angles.
ASTM A36 specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties and dimensional requirements for carbon steel angles. This standard ensures that angle steel produced to its specifications has the strength, ductility and other properties required for structural applications. It also provides guidelines for allowable variations in dimensions and tolerances for these steel angles.
