GIPS Steel
GIPS Steel
(OP)
I've been asked to perform a failure assessment on some failed armour wires from a subsea rov umbilical.
I am told that the material is galvanised GIPS steel. Of course no material specification given - that would be too easy!!
Can anyone enlighten me on what GIPS stands for?
