1 gauge ABS Grade A plate has tensile strength 58 to 71 ksi. ABS Grade A hot rolled plateis most commonly used in the shipbuilding industry for the construction of structural parts of ships, barges and marine equipment. All 1 gauge ABS Grade A hot rolled plates are supplied with ABS certificate(American Bureau of Shipping).
The ABS steel certification is incredibly important, and means our steel is able to be used in the structural architecture of ships, barges, marine equipment, and offshore drilling units. The ABS requires the marine industry to hold their construction materials to a very high standard. This extra precaution is taken because these materials will have to endure some of the harshest conditions. The ABS steel plates will have to withstand incredibly high winds for long periods of time, mass amounts of weight and stress, and the extreme conditions of salt water and erosion.
