Stainless Steel Grating — 304 & 316 Grades
Named standards are purchaser specification inputs, not a claim that every configuration is certified. State the required standard and edition, acceptance criteria, inspection points and documents; the quotation must confirm the applicable scope.
Minimum order, production timing, packing, trade terms and destination logistics are confirmed only after the quantity, configuration, process scope and delivery requirements have been reviewed.
What is Stainless Steel Grating?
A practical rule of thumb for buyers: choose 304 for hygiene and general corrosion resistance; choose 316 wherever chlorides, seawater, or aggressive process chemicals are present. Low-carbon variants (304L/316L) are preferred when heavy welding is involved, because they resist carbide precipitation at the weld zones. If your service environment is unusually aggressive — or budget pressure makes stainless hard to justify — ask us about FRP grating in vinyl ester resin as an alternative for non-structural, chemical-heavy areas.
Stainless Steel Specifications
Stainless grating is produced to the same dimensional series as carbon steel grating. Bearing bars range from 20×3 mm up to 100×9 mm; standard bar spacings follow the 19-space (approx. 30 mm centers) and 15-space (approx. 23.8 mm centers) series, with cross bar pitches typically at 50 mm or 100 mm. Panels are cut, banded, and notched to your layout drawings, with serrated bearing bars available where extra slip resistance is needed on wet or oily floors.
Stainless Steel Applications
Food and beverage processing: trench drain covers, mezzanine floors, and platform grating that withstand caustic cleaning agents, steam, and daily high-pressure washdowns without flaking coatings that could contaminate product. Pharmaceutical and cleanroom facilities: 304/316L grating with pickled or polished finishes for areas governed by strict sanitary protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I specify 304 or 316 stainless steel grating?
Provide clear span, support arrangement, load cases, wheel or point-load footprint, deflection limit and service conditions. Request configuration-specific data or calculations and have safety-critical selections approved by the responsible qualified person.
Can you fabricate stainless grating from our drawings or CAD files?
GoGrating accepts enquiries for this product family. The written quotation must identify the legal supplier, manufacturing party and location, available construction and materials, fabrication scope, inspection documents, packing and delivery terms. Website examples are not order commitments. Submit drawings with the enquiry so scope can be reviewed before quotation.
What is the minimum order quantity and typical lead time?
Minimum order, production timing, packing, trade terms and destination logistics are confirmed only after the quantity, configuration, process scope and delivery requirements have been reviewed.
Do you provide load tables and material certificates for stainless grating?
Named standards are purchaser specification inputs, not a claim that every configuration is certified. State the required standard and edition, acceptance criteria, inspection points and documents; the quotation must confirm the applicable scope.
