Noted the rolled plates is over 100 mm (4 in.) thickness, then in addition to chemical analysis the following test data is to be obtained at one-quarter and mid thickness locations:
1) Tensile properties,
2) Impact transition curves in the longitudinal and transverse directions
The results are to be submitted, together with the intended application, to ABS Materials Department for review and acceptance.
Understand that GL Plate will be cut to reduce thickness from 205 mm to 152 mm, then 100 % surface NDT to be carried out plus random thickness.
