Aluminium Grating Patterns
Patterns A & B
These patterns of grating conform to the AS 1657 Code for Fixed Platforms, Walkways, Stairway and Ladders. It is the product most specified and used throughout all sections of industry. This type of grating with its 30mm load bar centres has the greatest resistance to surface impact. It is used extensively in Power Stations, Refineries, Sewerage Treatment Plants, Grain Silos, Chemical Plants and as trafficable drain grates and stair treads. In its serrated form these patterns of grating are used in wet, greasy areas especially by the oil industry on offshore production platforms. Because of the number of twisted rods in the B pattern, serrations are not as effective.
Patterns C & D
These patterns of grating are lighter and more economical than the A & B Pattern. They conform to the requirements of AS 1657. This product is ideal in areas which do not have to withstand high impacts or heavy loading.
Pattern F
This grating has been specifically developed for the mining industry where spillage of material onto floors is a problem. The large square openings (nominally 60 x 50) allow most materials to fall through the grating, thus keeping the walking surface clear and safe. This product is frequently specified for conveyor walkways and floors in crusher buildings, process plants and transfer stations.
