European Standard ?????

Hi to everyone. We just got some specs for a projets and it calls out for S235 10GA. plates.

We are assuming that it is the equivalent to 44W or A-569 mild steel 10GA. plates that we currently use here in Ontario, Canada!

If anyone would know where I could find a list were these standards are compared or converted, that would be great.

I hope I have enough info for someone to help!!

Thank you in advance for all of your time,

In Finland (5 years ago) we had a mild ss(structural steel) called FE35, FE44, and FE52. number reflecting the tensile strength of the material in Kg/mm^2. Then, they were renamed to ss235, ss***, and ssxxx(cant remember, thus x's) to reflect yield strength in N/mm^2 as per EU standards or someone just wanted change. I think the euro customer is asking for the weakest(cheapest) of the structural steels that they had available...

It sure looks like that's what they want is the cheapest material out there!!

Thanks.
