Welded Steel Grating an Economical Alternative for Grating Systems
When selecting a bar grating, welded grating is often the priority. It is not only the most economical option but also provides comfortable walking surface with about 80 percent open area. Welded grating refers to welding the intersections of bearing bars and cross bars by automated forge welding machines.
Welded steel grating shared high strength, effective cost as well as easy installation. It is broadly used in industrial plants and commercial buildings including walkways, platforms, security fencing, drainage covers and ventilation grates.
Surface options:
There are two options - plain and serrated. Serrated surfaces efficiently increase friction to avoid slip.
Materials:
ASTM A-1011 mild carbon steel;
300 series stainless steel.
