This standard covers the dimensions, mass, and sectional properties of hot rolled steel bulb angles. These sections feature a bulbous protrusion at the toe of one leg, providing high strength-to-weight ratio for use primarily as stiffeners in shipbuilding and large plated structures.

Practical Notes
Ensure exact profile dimensions are mapped correctly in BIM/detailing software (like Tekla), as bulb angles are asymmetrical and orientation is critical.
This code purely defines geometry and mass properties; material grades and testing requirements must be specified via IS 2062 or relevant marine material standards.
