Geometry

The grating’s component parts are load bearing bar, cross bar and edge bar.
During all planning involving pressure welded grating, you should as far as possible adapt the layout to the grating’s standard width (1000 mm) to obtain the most economical alternative.

If the grating is to be laid across several supports, it is best to choose grating in larger sizes. This gives a more beautiful pattern with fewer joints.

To prevent incorrect placement of the load bearing rod (the grating’s bearing structure), avoid grating with square dimensions.

Mesh widths

We have a wide range of different mesh sizes for grating. For the mesh width, these sizes are specified c/c. The first dimension is always c/c load bearing bar and the second dimension is always c/c cross bar.

Tolerances and Dimensions

Length & width dimensions

Our production is based on fixed tolerances for the length, width and diagonal dimensions. The tolerance is set to +0 / -4 mm.

Max. length of cross bar ends

Cross bar ends have a maximum protrusion of 2 mm.

Load bearing bar deflection

During the manufacture of grating, the product naturally becomes convex. The maximum load bearing bar deflection is 1/200 of the span.

Cross bar division

Our production is based on fixed tolerance for the cross bar division. The placing of the cross bars follows the specified mesh width with tolerances according to the diagram.

Fixing

For fixing gratings, we off a number of different fixings. Both complete clamps consisting of top section, bottom section, bolt and nut or, alternatively, top section and fixing screw. For gratings trafficked by heavy vehicles, we also offer mounting lugs welded to the bottom of the grating’s mesh.

Marking

Each grating can be provided with a substantial identification tab with clear characters that refer to the layout drawing, which makes the assembly work easier. Frequently used for slightly larger projects.

Surface treatment

Hot dip galvanisation

The diagram shows the average service life for different thicknesses of zinc in different environments.

Treatment of stainless steel

Stainless steel grating is pickled to attain a good surface finish.

Treatment of aluminium

Aluminium grating is pickled to attain a good surface finish.

Load tables

Assumptions for load tables
Calculations according to Eurocode are performed with a calculation program. (NSAB)
Partial coefficient for load = 1.5
Table values indicate characteristic loads for safety class 2
For safety class 1: multiply the value by 1.1
For safety class 3: multiply the value by 0.91

To consider!
When dimensioning chequer plate for pedestrian traffic, you should calculate using a distributed load of 5 kN, even if the design load for the supporting structure is lower.

Material grade
Load bearing bar 2-3 mm: Fyk = 235 N/mm²
Load bearing bar 4-5 mm: Fyk = 355 N/mm²

Cross bar d=4-6.5 mm: Fyk = 235 N/mm²
