FAQ

 

Q: Which ABS grade should I choose for low-temperature service?

A: Grade D is suitable to -20°C, Grade E to -40°C, while EH36 is commonly selected for high-strength structures operating at -40°C.

Q: Can you provide ASTM or EN equivalent materials?

A: Yes. Common equivalents include ASTM A131 Grade A/AH36/DH36/EH36 and EN grades such as S235JR or S355, depending on the required specification.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

A: The standard MOQ is 3 metric tons. Smaller trial orders can be discussed based on stock availability.

Q: Do you keep ABS marine steel plates in stock?

A: Yes. Standard grades such as A, D, AH36, DH36, and EH36 are frequently available, subject to current inventory.

Q: Can I request material samples before placing a bulk order?

A: Yes. Small samples are available for material verification, with freight arranged by mutual agreement.

Q: Can plates be supplied with ABS witness inspection?

A: Yes. ABS surveyor inspection and third-party inspections such as SGS, BV, or TÜV can be arranged before shipment.

Q: What welding methods are recommended for ABS marine steel?

A: Processes including SMAW, GMAW (MIG/MAG), FCAW, and SAW are commonly used with suitable marine-grade filler materials.

Q: Which export documents can you provide?

A: We provide the Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1), Certificate of Origin, and inspection certificates as required.
