Facts
Origin Trade in steel and steel products primarily flows:
  • EU countries
  • Asia: Japan, Korea, India, South Africa
  • America: USA
Stowage factor (in m3/t) Highly variable, depending upon packaging, dimensions and weight, e.g.: 0.83 m³/t (concrete reinforcement steel in bundles with metal strapping
Humidity / moisture Relative humidity: <40 - 50%
Ventilation (See text also) Steel profiles require particular humidity/moisture and possibly ventilation conditions. Steel corrosion accelerates rapidly at relative humidity > 60%. If possible, relative humidity should be reduced to below 60% by appropriate ventilation measures.
Risk factors (See text also) Seawater damage, contamination and mechanical damage
