IS 2062 E250 / E350 Plate Cut to Size
Most IS 2062 plate leaves us as pieces, not full mill plates. Cutting from a full plate means you pay only for what you use, and each piece keeps the heat number of the plate it came from.
| Full & part plates | Full mill plates, halves and quarters |
|---|---|
| Rectangles & strips | To your list of finished sizes, or to a drawing |
| Circles & rings | Blanks for blind flanges, covers, tube sheets and nozzles |
| Machining allowance | State finished size and allowance; thermally cut edges are normally machined back |
| Traceability | Heat number transferred to every piece before cutting |
Send a cutting list or DXF; we nest pieces to reduce off-cut and quote per piece.

IS 2062 E250 / E350 Plate Price — What Decides It
Two quotes for "IS 2062 plate" can differ by 20% and both be fair. We quote IS 2062 plate per kg for full sizes and per piece for cut sizes. These six things move the price per kg, so you can compare offers like for like.
IS 2062 E250 / E350 Plate Testing & Inspection
Plate goes into pressure parts and heavy sections, so it is inspected for internal soundness and flatness as well as chemistry. These tests are added to the order and reported on the certificate or as separate reports.
| Ultrasonic testing | Straight-beam UT to EN 10160 (classes S0–S3 for the body, E0–E4 for the edges) |
|---|---|
| Flatness & dimensions | Per IS 1852 tables for thickness, width and length |
| Impact testing | Charpy impact test as set by the grade designation (e.g. J2 = 27 J at −20 °C; IS 2062 B0 / C sub-grades) |
| PMI | Alloy verification on each plate, or each cut piece if required |
| Third-party inspection | Witness by your inspector or agency, with an EN 10204 3.2 certificate |
UT checks the plate body along a scan grid and a band along each edge, where laminations matter most for welding.
IS 2062 E250 / E350 Plate Applications
Plate is chosen for pressure-bearing walls, heavy sections and parts machined from solid. For linings, bellows and pressed parts, see IS 2062 E250 / E350 sheet.
How your IS 2062 plate order runs

Fabricating Heavy IS 2062 E250 / E350 Plate
Shells, heads and tube sheets mean thick sections and multi-pass welds. These are the points that decide whether IS 2062 plate keeps its corrosion resistance after fabrication; matching filler is E7018 / ER70S-6.
General guidance only; follow your approved WPS, PQR and design code.
| Preheat | Set by thickness and carbon equivalent per your WPS and code. |
|---|---|
| PWHT | Post-weld heat treatment where the code or service requires it. |
| Joint preparation | Double-V or J-prep on heavy plate to reduce weld volume. |

FOB / CIF · Nhava Sheva (JNPT), MumbaiIS 2062 E250 / E350 plate — questions buyers ask
Is IS 2062 E250 / E350 the same as IS 2062 E250BR?
Yes. IS 2062 E250BR, MS plate, Mild steel plate all refer to the same material, and plate is ordered to IS 2062 whichever name is on the enquiry.
What thickness counts as IS 2062 E250 / E350 plate?
For IS 2062 E250 / E350, heavier gauges rolled as plate (dimensional tolerances to IS 1852); thinner gauges rolled as sheet or coil. Order the form that matches your drawing thickness.
What is the price of IS 2062 E250 / E350 plate per kg?
It moves with steel mill prices, so a fixed list price is out of date within days. Thickness, cut size, quantity and documents also change it. Send your size and quantity and we quote the same working day.
Do you supply ultrasonically tested IS 2062 E250 / E350 plate?
Yes, UT can be added to the order — to EN 10160 or the level your specification states. The UT report is supplied with the mill certificate.
Can IS 2062 E250 / E350 plate be cut into circles and rings?
Yes. Blanks for blind flanges, covers and tube sheets are cut from plate to your drawing, with the heat number marked on every piece.
What machining allowance should I leave on cut plate?
It depends on the cutting method and finished tolerance. Give us the finished size and your allowance; thermally cut edges are normally machined back to sound metal.
How heavy is a IS 2062 E250 / E350 plate?
Weight (kg) = length (m) × width (m) × thickness (mm) × 7.85. A 2000 × 1000 × 10 mm plate weighs about 157 kg; use the calculator on this page for your size.
What documents come with an export shipment?
An EN 10204 3.1 mill certificate (or 3.2 with a third-party inspector), commercial invoice, packing list with heat numbers, and certificate of origin. Test reports are added for any extra tests ordered.
