IS 2314:1986 is the Indian Standard (BIS) for steel sheet piling sections. This standard specifies the nominal dimensions, mass, and sectional properties of hot-rolled steel sheet piling sections. It covers Z-type, U-type, and straight web type profiles used predominantly in earth retaining walls, cofferdams, and marine structures.

| Parameter | IS Value | International | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Steel Grade (Min. Yield Strength) | 235 MPa (for steel conforming to IS 2062 Grade E250, which superseded the original IS 226 reference) | 355 MPa (for common grade S355GP) | EN 10248-1:2023 |
| High-Strength Steel Grade (Min. Yield Strength) | Not explicitly defined in the standard (refers to IS 9550 for higher strength options) | 430 MPa (for grade S430GP) | EN 10248-1:2023 |
| Mass Tolerance (for an individual pile) | ± 2.5% | ± 5% (on mass per metre) | EN 10248-2:1996 |
| Interlock Tensile Strength Requirement | Minimum 343 N/mm² (35 kgf/mm²) | Strength is guaranteed by the manufacturer, with defined test methods; often required to match material strength. | EN 10248-1:2023 |
| Chemical Composition (Sulphur, max %) | 0.055% (for Steel St 42-S as per original IS 226 reference) | 0.025% (for S355GP grade) | EN 10248-1:2023 |
| Chemical Composition (Phosphorus, max %) | 0.055% (for Steel St 42-S as per original IS 226 reference) | 0.035% (for S355GP grade) | EN 10248-1:2023 |
| Elongation (min % on standard gauge length) | 23% | 20% (for S355GP grade) | EN 10248-1:2023 |
