How do I read a grating load table?

Quick answer

Match the clear span and design load to a row and column only after confirming the table's material, bar section, pitch, support assumptions, units, load type and deflection criterion. A value from a different table condition is not transferable.

Load tables commonly organize product sections and clear spans with corresponding load or deflection information. Read the legend and notes first because table format and acceptance limits vary by publisher and product.

Do not apply a uniform-load value to concentrated, wheel, impact or vibration cases without a separate check. Confirm the governing standard and product data with the responsible engineer.
