Steel base plate

Steel base plates have high durability and the ability to withstand high temperatures and pressures. Let’s learn about this product with Tiger Steel.

What is the steel base plate??

Previously, Tiger Steel also asked such a question.

It wasn’t until the steel structure workers sent drawings for processing that Tiger Steel found out.

I think many people new to the profession will probably have the same questions as me.

So today I decided to write an article to introduce this product line.

In short, it’s like this: steel base plate steel, or base plate, is a form of steel plate. However, it is cut to a smaller size and is often punched to install bolts.

Steel base plate specifications

Steel base plates usually have the following designs:

• Circle
• Square
• Rectangle
• trapezoid
• Triangle

Its style is designed based on the location where it is used.

Another point is that steel base plates are also designed in such a way that they are connected to the steel structure. Detail:

• Steel base plates without holes are connected by welds.
• Perforated steel base plates are connected by steel bolts.

Types of steel used to produce steel base plates

At Tiger Steel, we often receive orders requiring steel grades produced according to JIS G3101 standards:

								5 < T ≤ 16	Sample 1A	13 min

Application of steel base plates in steel structures

In steel structures, the main locations where steel base plates need to be used include:

• The location between columns and foundations
• Between the columns with steel trusses
• Between the columns and the steel beams

Hopefully, the above knowledge that Tiger Steel shares will be useful to you. And don’t forget, at Tiger Steel, we provide steel base plate processing services!
