Hi,
I am looking for a South African Grade mild steel equivalent to Australian AS.3679 GR250, can anyone help me ?

RE: Mild Steel , AS3679 GR250

This is a very negative post but:

It is all imported, reality is that it doesn't comply with Australian Standards

RE: Mild Steel , AS3679 GR250

I'm not sure if this will help you much.  I came across this document from the web at saisc.co.za.  This appears to be South African Institute of Steel Construction.  A comment on this document casually says "Where structural steel is used, it is currently standard practice in South Africa to use Gr 300WA steel or Gr 350WA steel."  I can't verify this, but this may be a starting place for you.  It looks like they use a grade 300 steel as the low end.

Hi kikflip,

Negative ??!!!!??

I know it doesn't meet Australian standards, I am in Australia but the design I am working on is for a South African company and they will be building it in South Africa.
Hence the reason I am looking for the South African equivalent.

Thanks weab and BAretired your help was much appreciated.
You have given me somewhere to start.

RE: Mild Steel , AS3679 GR250

kikflip/jakey, how don't they comply with AS3679 and what bolts are we getting then?

RE: Mild Steel , AS3679 GR250

AS3679 is the structural steel standard, not bolts.

Non-compliance of SA steel has been assumed, not proven.
It possibly could comply.

RE: Mild Steel , AS3679 GR250

ok, kikflip could you please explain your original post.
