MS Foundation Bolt In Delhi

A foundation bolt (also known as anchor bolt) is a heavy-duty fastener embedded in concrete foundations to secure structural columns, machinery, base plates, etc.

When referred to as “MS foundation bolt”, “MS” = Mild Steel. So the bolt body is made of mild steel (a lower-carbon steel) rather than alloy or stainless steel. For example: “Mild Steel Foundation Bolt” in Delhi region. shrinathengineers.com+2primesteelsupplier.com+2

MS bolts are often chosen when cost is a key concern and the environment is not extremely corrosive (or a coating/galvanising is applied).

Typical shapes: L-type, J-type, straight rod with plate welded, U-bolt, etc. Many use mild steel material but may have surface treatments (galvanised, zinc, black oxide) for durability. For example: “J-type, L-type, straight” in one supplier’s spec. rathangengineering.com+1

Typical specifications & features you’ll see in Delhi/NCR

Here are what you should expect / check when sourcing MS foundation bolts:

Material: Mild Steel (MS) grade. Some may list “carbon steel” or “MS & EN-8” etc. hightensilenuts.com

Diameter and length: Sizes could vary from smaller diameters (say M10, M12) to large diameters (M24, M30 etc). Example: one Delhi supplier offers 12 mm MS foundation bolt. primesteelsupplier.com

Shape/type: L-type, J-type, straight rod, plate welded, anchor plate type. Example: manufacturer offers J-type, L-type etc. rathangengineering.com+1

Finish / surface treatment: Since mild steel by itself is prone to corrosion, many bolts are finished with galvanisation, zinc plating, black oxide, hot-dip galvanised, etc. Example: “…finishing: hot dip / zink / blackodied” for mild steel foundation bolt. insizepluscompany.com

Usage/Application: Construction (columns, beams), industrial machinery anchoring, infrastructure, towers, outdoor equipment. Example: one source: “used for building foundations, bridges and highways, industrial plants and machinery.” primesteelsupplier.com+1

Standards / Quality: Look for compliance to Indian (IS) or international (ASTM, DIN) standards. While some MS bolts may not explicitly list high-tensile grades, they should meet load/strength requirements for the application. Example: “conforms to IS, ASTM, DIN standards” in one listing. rathangengineering.com

Sourcing in Delhi / What to consider

Local supplier notes

Here is one local supplier example: Prime Steel – offers “12 mm MS foundation bolt … usage/application building foundations … durable” in Delhi. primesteelsupplier.com Also, many fastener / bolt wholesale/manufacturers are listed in Delhi (Anand Parbat Industrial Area, Ajmeri Gate, etc.). Example: Jyoti Industries is a manufacturer of nuts/bolts in Delhi. Indian Yellow Pages

What you should check / ask the supplier

Material certificate/test report: Since MS doesn’t have the high strength of alloy steel, ensure the bolt meets the design engineer’s requirements for load, embedment, etc.

Finish & corrosion protection: If outdoors or exposed environment (Delhi has dust, pollution, rain) ensure galvanised or protected finish.

Shape & embedment length: Ensure the bolt length, head style, bend (for L/J) match drawing or foundation plan.

Thread length and nut/washer: Often foundation bolts are supplied with nut + washer; check these too.

Standard/Specification: Ask if they adhere to certain IS/ASTM standards, or if custom drawing fabrication is possible.

Delivery & lead time: Fabrication of large diameter or custom bent bolts can take longer; plan ahead.

Quality inspection: Especially for structural/industrial use, check for straightness, bend quality, welds (if plate welded), finish uniformity.

Packaging & handling: Bolt threads must not be damaged; packaging should protect finish (especially if galvanised).
