From what i know, it can vary between 100 kg to 1 tonne, depending on the supplier and the specific type of sheet. Some suppliers may offer smaller MOQs for certain grades or sizes.
The article talks about grades like IS2062 and IS1079. What’s the difference between these? For something like building furniture, which type would be best?
IS 2062 is for structural steel, used in construction, while IS 1079 is for thinner sheets used in fabrication. For furniture, IS 1079 would be more suitable due to its flexibility
Getting low prices is always a challenge and procurement takes time for me. Checking with known suppliers, and online portals is always easy but yes, price with quality measures are important. Thanks for putting the range, it sets a base for negotiation also.
