19mm thick.
Don't have the experience to answer the "B Grade" part.

Not aware of any 'standard' rating scheme. I reckon it's just rejects. I'd want to look at it first.

It is usually graded at the mills.
B grade would have mould (which apparently can be cleaned off), marked/scratched etc.
You could have a close look at the wood. If you know what to look for and can select your pieces (most places don't like this!).
I s'pose the most important is to ensure it is straight and not warped and is dried.
In my recent experience you get what you pay for.
If it's too good to be true (the price) then it usually is.
