How do I select the right grating?
Start with duty, environment, clear span, support and load cases. Then compare products using matching load and deflection data, select the required surface and opening pattern, and confirm material, finish, fixing and documentation with the project engineer.
Start with the clear distance between effective supports and the governing load cases. Use only load data that matches the product, support, load type and project serviceability criterion; safety factors and acceptance limits come from the design basis.
Next select pitch and surface for drainage, object retention, accessibility and slip-risk requirements. Choose material and finish only after reviewing corrosion, chemical, electrical, hygiene, fire and maintenance needs for the actual environment.
