The ASTM A709 is the Standard Specification for Structural Steel for Bridges and encompasses carbon, high-strength low-alloy, and quenched and tempered alloy steels used as structural plates in the construction of bridges. Of the five grades SSAB offers, three grades have an ASTM G101 enhanced Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance Index of ≥6.0.
| Grade | Thickness (inmm) |

|---|---|---|---|
| HPS 70W | 0.750 - 1.24919.0 - 31.72 | 72 - 1201800 - 3050 | 240 - 11766100 - 29870 |

Width: Please inquire for plate widths less than 72 in. and over 120 in. Please inquire for plate lengths greater than 1020 in.
Length: Plate length may be limited by maximum individual plate weight of 66.000 lbs.
Thickness: Please inquire for thicknesses greater than 2.00 in.
Tensile testing is performed in the transverse direction according to ASTM A370 requirements.
| Grade | Thickness (inmm) |
Yield strength 1) (min ksi) |
Tensile strength (min ksi) |
Elongation in 2" 2) (min %) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HPS 70W | 0.750 - 2.0019.0 - 50.8 | 70 | 85 | 19 |
1) Yield strength measured as 0.2% offset or 0.5% extension under load.
2) For plates wider than 24 in, the elongation requirement is reduced by two percentage points. See elongation requirement adjustments in the Tension Test section of Specification ASTM A6.
