Equal vs unequal MS angles

These examples come from separate catalogues and are not a like-for-like manufacturer comparison or a Jabbar Traders stock list.

Read the three dimensions

Angle sizes are written as leg × leg × thickness, in millimetres. For an equal-leg angle, the first two dimensions match. For an unequal-leg angle, they differ; keep the long-leg and short-leg order clear when copying the project drawing.

The examples above are specific entries in their cited references, not a complete market range. Published dimensions and weights can vary by producer, section standard and rolling tolerances.

Use the specified profile

Equal and unequal angles are not automatic substitutes. Their section properties and orientation differ. For structural work, use the approved drawing and the qualified engineer’s specification rather than selecting a profile from a size example alone.

If the drawing does not make the leg order, thickness, grade or standard clear, include the drawing revision and ask for clarification before approving a substitute.

What to include in an angle enquiry

Send equal or unequal profile type, both leg dimensions, thickness, grade or standard, required lengths, quantity and unit. Add the preferred make if the project restricts manufacturers, plus any finish, cutting or fabrication notes and the delivery PIN code.
