BS970
Specifications
Comprehensive stocks are held in BS970 steel specifcations. Engineering steel grades to BS970 were first issued in 1941 initially in the EN range of steel specfications specifications. Over the years many carbon steel and alloy steel designations have been added to the BS970 specification. Many BS970 grades have been superceded over time.
BS970 grades are held on stock and delivered throughout the U.K. Prompt service given by our well informed sales team.
