Equal Angle Steel and Structural Steel Angles Manufacturer for the Middle East

Steel angles are among the most commonly used structural profiles, serving as brackets, supports, frames and reinforcement in construction and manufacturing. Tianjin Sino East Steel Group manufactures equal angle steel in ASTM A36, Q195, Q235 and Q345 grades, including hot-dip galvanized angles, supplying fabricators, steel traders and contractors across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait.

What Is Equal Angle Steel?

Equal angle steel (also called L-section or angle bar) has two legs of equal length forming a 90-degree angle. The L-shape provides excellent strength in bending and compression with minimal material weight, making angles ideal for structural frames, bracing, brackets, transmission towers and general fabrication. Angles are produced by hot rolling and are available with equal or unequal legs, in lengths from 6 m to 12 m.

Angles can be supplied in black (mill finish) or hot-dip galvanized form. Galvanized angles are preferred for outdoor applications such as fencing, transmission structures and coastal construction, where the zinc coating protects the steel from corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between equal and unequal angle steel?

Equal angle steel has two legs of the same length; unequal angle steel has legs of different lengths. Equal angles are more common and are used where symmetric strength is required.

What is the most commonly used angle size in the GCC?

Commonly used sizes include 40x40x3, 50x50x5, 75x75x6 and 100x100x8 mm, in Q235 and A36 grades. We stock these sizes for fast delivery.

Can you supply galvanized angle steel?

Yes. We supply hot-dip galvanized angles with coating weights from 400 to 600 g/m², suitable for outdoor and coastal applications.

Do you provide Mill Test Certificates with angle steel?

Yes. Every shipment includes an EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate with chemical composition and mechanical properties.

Can angles be supplied in lengths other than 6 metres?

Yes. We supply angles in 6 m, 9 m and 12 m lengths, or cut to your specified length for large orders.
