Structural Steel Standard of Chinese

 Dear Readers,

As you are well aware due to globalization all works has been very competitive and it is helping us to exchange of knowledge and standards, in this scenario Chinese works are having more impact and competition throughout the world. Now it is very essential to know the Chinese standards and how it is indicated in drawings. Let us discuss how to identify and compare with our standards.

All Chinese standards are having prefix GB like IS for Indian Standard, JIS for Japanese. For Construction related works and other works different Chinese standards are followed, which are listed below.

GB= GuojiaBiaozhun( National Standard in Chinese)

SY = Shi You (Petroleum)

JB =  JianBiao(Construction Standard)

GB/T = T : Tuijian(recommended GB)

HG =  HuaGong (PetroChemical)

Chinese standards for General structural steel (including chequered steel) is GB/T 700-2006. Grade of materials available is Q235 (A/B/C/D); Q275 (A/B/C/D).

Generally Chinese Steel Grades are Q195, Q215, Q235, Q255 and Q275 is used for Structural works. steel grades by the yield point of the letter on behalf of (Q) and yield point value is mentioned and sub grade A, B, C & D are used for further classification. For Example Q235A means, it is a carbon steel and having maximum yield strength of 235 Mpa

For Steel section Channel is mentioned as "C"; Angles are mentioned as "L" and Beams are mentioned as “I “or “H " followed by number. To find out the size of section is number multiple by 10 is the size of member.

For Example C16 means Channel 160 mm depth. Similarly H10 means H section 100 mm depth.

If the same size but width or Flange size is different then suffix a, b, c is shown. For example C20a & C20b, Both are 200 Channel however flange is 73 and 75 mm respectively. C20a means Channel 200 X 73 and C20b means Channel 200 X 75

Difference Between Tablespoon and Teaspoon

 Dear Readers,

During preparation of some other articles self has come across these details of tablespoon and teaspoon. It will be useful to you.

The teaspoon was introduced in London in 1686 as the perfect-sized spoon to measure any amount of tea. It could also be used for the sugar and cream afterward. However, these teaspoons were not standardized and could range anywhere from 2.5 ml to 6 ml in volume.

That’s why the modern-day measuring teaspoon is exactly 5 ml and is standard across the board so that any chef or cook can measure the exact same amount of ingredients.

You can also call a serving spoon a tablespoon, and this is the word's original meaning, from "spoon for table service," first used around 1760.

A tablespoon is 15ml. If you don't have any metric measurements, then remember that a tablespoon is approximately equal to your thumb.

Generally, liquids are measured in Milli liter (ml). However during cooking it used to measure by cups or teaspoon, tablespoon and Ounce. Conversion Table of Teaspoon, Tablespoon, Cup, Fluid Ounce with metric standard is as follows.

If you're looking for a grams-to-teaspoons conversion chart, you won't find one here. Grams are a measure of mass, and teaspoons measure volume. The correct conversion depends on the density of the item you're measuring.
