ABS Grades A, B, D, and E are ordinary-strength structural steels with a minimum specified yield strength of 34 ksi and specified minimum Charpy V-notch impact toughness properties.
ApplicationsTypical applications include shipbuilding and mobile offshore drilling units and structures.
Width: Please inquire for plate widths less than 72 in. and inquire plate product over 120 in.
Length: Please inquire for plate lengths greater than the listed maximum. Please inquire for plate lengths less than 240 in.
Tensile testing is performed in the transverse direction.
1) See ABS Rules for elongation requirements for alternative tensile specimens.
1) Specimen orientation at the option of the manufacturer unless otherwise specified in the order.
No more than one value below the specified miniminum average energy but no less than 70% of the specfied minimum average energy value.
Impact tests not required for Grade A if produced using fine grain practice and normalized.
