Scope

GB/T 9945-2025 is the English-translated version of 热轧球扁钢.

GB/T 9945-2025 is the Chinese national standard covering the asymmetric bulb-shaped stiffener rolled for ship hulls, offshore structures and bridges — the model series and the sectional dimensions with their theoretical weight, the straightness and the bulb head distortion that decide whether the section lies flat against the plate it is welded to, the end burrs, the weight tolerance, the composition of the ordinary and high-strength grades with their grain-refining additions, and the tensile and impact properties. It replaces GB/T 9945-2012, under the China Iron and Steel Association. In force from 1 January 2026. Issued on 30 June 2025, it has been in force since 1 January 2026, replacing GB/T 9945-2012.

--Added bulb flat steel models (see Table 1);

--The theoretical weight of bulb flat steel has been changed (see Table 1 of the 2012 edition);

--Changed the normal length requirements for bulb flat steel (see 5.1.2, 4.1.2 of the 2012 edition);

--Changed the curvature requirements (see 5.2.1, 4.2.1 of the 2012 edition);

--Added requirements for end burrs (see 5.2.3);

--Added requirements for ball head bending deformation (see 5.2.4);

--Changed the weight tolerance of bulb flat steel (see 5.3, 4.3 of the 2012 edition);

--Changed the values of grain-refining element combinations in the chemical composition of high-strength bulb flat steel (see Table 3, 2012 edition) Table 3);

--Changed the surface quality requirements (see 6.5, 5.5 of the 2012 edition);

--The batching rules have been changed (see 8.2, see 7.2 of the 2012 edition).
