GIPS Steel

tbarnett · Mar 28, 2002

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?
