Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE A — BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes of Friedman Industries, Incorporated (the “Company”) included in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024. Reclassifications The consolidated financial statements for the previous year may include certain reclassifications to conform to the current presentation. To conform with the current year presentation, “Cost of products sold” on the consolidated statements of operations was broken down into four separate line items: "Cost of materials sold", "Processing and warehousing expense", "Delivery expense" and "Depreciation and Amortization". The Company believes this increased level of detail provides financial statement users with a better understanding of the Company's expenses. "Cost of materials sold" represent the delivered cost of inventory sold. "Processing and warehousing expense" represents the operating costs at our processing facilities. "Delivery expense" represents the costs of delivering products to customers. The amount the Company charged customers for delivery of products is reported within "Net sales" on the consolidated statements of operations. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net earnings or stockholders' equity.
