Steel Table India is a free Android app that puts the IS 808:2021 steel section tables on your phone, with design capacity to IS 800, cost at your own rate, and a Bolt Mode for fasteners. It works offline, needs no account, and is built by one developer at Trishunya Infotech for engineers on site and at the desk.
What it is
Steel Table India is a structural steel reference for Android. Search a designation such as MB 300 and you get a dimensioned sketch, mass, unit cost, design capacity and section properties on one screen. The same app has a Bolt Mode for hex bolts, HSFG bolts, washers and nuts. It stores everything on the phone, so it works with no signal, and it is free to use with no subscription.
Who it is for
It is made for people who deal with steel sections in India: structural engineers, site engineers, fabricators and estimators. The typical moment is a question that needs a number now. What does an ISMC 150 weigh per metre? What is Izz for this beam? Is this bolt big enough? The answers sit in tables that are slow to search in a PDF.
What is inside
- The IS 808:2021 section catalogue: beams, columns, channels, angles, with over a thousand sections and more added with updates.
- Pipes to IS 1161, hollow tubes to IS 4923, and plates, flats, bars and rebar, with custom sizes for flats and round bars.
- An Inspect panel with a dimensioned sketch, dimensions and weight, unit cost, design capacity, inertia, gyration and moduli.
- A Section Optimizer that ranks the lightest IS sections for a target moment of inertia.
- A design calculator for columns and beams to IS 800, with pass or fail and the numbers shown.
- A compare tray for up to four sections, and a Quantity Estimator for total weight and cost.
- Bolt Mode, with an explorer, a compare screen and an optimizer.
- Your own rate per kg, metres or feet, light and dark themes, and export to CSV, JSON or Markdown.
The app tour goes through these in order. For worked examples, see the guides on beam capacity, bolt capacity and steel weight and cost.
How it is built
One developer builds it, at Trishunya Infotech, for the people who use it on site. It has been shaped by feedback from engineers, and you can write in from the app menu. The values are transcribed from the published IS 808:2021 tables, and the design checks follow IS 800 methods. When a figure looks wrong, the report helps everyone who uses the app after you.
Where it stops
It is a fast reference tool, not a design office. Transcription can contain errors, so verify critical dimensions and properties against the official Bureau of Indian Standards publication before using them in a design, drawing or calculation. The capacity values are section capacities under stated assumptions. They do not replace a full design check, and they do not replace the judgement of a qualified engineer.
It is an Android app, available on Google Play. The privacy policy and data safety pages say what the app collects: Privacy Policy and Data Safety.

Questions people ask
What is Steel Table India?
It is a free Android app with the IS 808:2021 steel section tables, IS 800 design capacity, cost at your own rate, and a Bolt Mode for fasteners.
Who makes Steel Table India?
It is built by Trishunya Infotech, a solo app studio, and shaped by feedback from engineers who use it.
Is the data from the official standard?
Values are transcribed from the published IS 808:2021 tables. Transcription can contain errors, so verify critical values against the official Bureau of Indian Standards publication.
Does it work without internet?
Yes. The dataset is stored on the phone, so lookups and calculations work with no signal.
Which phones does it run on?
Steel Table India is an Android app, available on Google Play.
How do I report a wrong value?
Write in from the app menu. Reports from engineers are how the data gets better.

Free on Google Play. IS 808:2021 sections, IS 800 checks and Bolt Mode, offline.
For reference, not for sign-off. Section and bolt values quoted here are as shown in Steel Table India, transcribed from the published IS 808:2021 tables and worked to IS 800:2007 methods. Transcription can contain errors, and these worked examples make simplifying assumptions stated in the text. Check critical values against the official Bureau of Indian Standards publications and have designs checked by a qualified engineer. IS 808 and IS 800 are published by the Bureau of Indian Standards.
