FLOORING
ALUMINIUM - CODE A
Aluminium is usually used when weight or corrosion is an issue. Typical applications are in sewerage treatment facilities and other aggressive corrosive environments. Aluminium can also be used in commercial applications including sunscreens, privacy screens and security screens. Aluminium grating can also be supplied with floorplate or mesh attached if required. For further information see page 32.
FIBREGLASS - CODE I or V
FRP (fibre re-inforced plastic) or fibreglass moulded grating is commonly used where a metal product is not suitable. There are two basic types of moulded grating. Code type I uses isopthalic resin and code type V uses vinylester resin. FRP is non-magnetic, has low thermal conductivity is non conductive and non sparking. It is used in corrosive environments and where weight and hygiene may be issues. For further information see page 26.

Loading Classifications
The loads applied to grating can usually be split into two basic categories: Point Loads These usually occur when motor driven trolleys or wheeled vehicles are run over the grating. For point load applications please contact your local Webforge Sales Office. Uniformly Distributed Loads (UDL) Uniformly distributed loads are more commonly used for general walkway and flooring applications. Most standards relate the loads that floors have to withstand in this format. Some common applications are listed below.

Slip Resistance
With the requirement to provide safe places of work, the slip resistance of the flooring and walkway products needs to be considered. On steeply sloping walkways between 150 and 200 cleats can be used to improve slip resistance. The standard surface uses plain flat edge bar Code P - Plain but to increase slip resistance further the following points should be considered: Steel & Aluminium Serrated grating can be specified. Serrated grating is when the top of the loadbars are notched. To specify use the Code S - Serrated. In addition both steel and aluminium grating can improve their slip resistance by setting the direction of walking over the floor parallel to the loadbar span. Cross rods can be spaced at 100mm centres for better grip. Fibreglass Grating FRP grating is provided with an antiskid surface. This is a coarse grit that is bonded to the top surfaces of the grating. Expanded Metal Expanded metal slip resistance is improved if the direction of walking coincides with the nominal short way of the mesh.
Types of Treatment
Steel grating is available galvanised to AS/NZS4680 - Code G, to protect against corrosion, or bitumen dipped - Code B, or left untreated - Code U. Aluminium flooring can be Anodised - Code A, Powder Coated - Code PC or left as Mill Finish - Code M. Expanded metal can be supplied untreated - Code U or hot dipped galvanised to the above standard - Code G.

Span Direction
Most grating and expanded metal needs to be supported in a specific way. The direction that the loadbars run is the important direction for grating and is usually referred to as the span. For expanded metal the span is in the direction of the strands. Span is always the last dimension given when referencing a panel size. Grating and expanded metal has to be supported in the span direction and does not require support on all four sides as is the case with floorplate.

ALUMINIUM - CODE A
Aluminium is usually used when weight or corrosion is an issue. Typical applications are in sewerage treatment facilities and other aggressive corrosive environments. Aluminium treads can be anodised or powder coated or left as mill finish.
FIBREGLASS - CODE I or V
FRP (fibre re-inforced plastic) or fibreglass moulded treads are commonly used where a metal product is not suitable. There are two basic types of moulded tread. Code type I uses isopthalic resin and code type V uses vinylester resin. FRP is non-magnetic, has low thermal conductivity is non conductive and non sparking. It is used in corrosive environments and where weight and hygiene may be issues.
Webforge offer a range of standard treads which will meet all applications. The following tread selections are available. The standard tread lengths are 750mm and 900mm and can be bolt in type or weld in type. The steel and stainless steel tread widths are 245mm or 285mm. The narrow tread width is used when the stringer member is a small section or the stair angle is steep. The standard bolt in end plates for the treads are shown on Page 7. The aluminium tread widths are 245mm or 275mm. The FRP tread widths are 234mm or 272mm. Treads are made from C325MS (serrated) for steel. Treads are made from A325AP (plain) for aluminium. Treads are made from G386IGGR for isopthalic FRP or G386VGY for vinylester FRP with an antiskid surface. Expanded metal is not commonly used as a tread material. Twist rods are purposely non aligned for safety reasons.
Nosing
Webforge recommends that steel, aluminium and stainless steel stair treads are fitted with an abrasive grit yellow nosing. FRP treads are supplied with a black antiskid nosing. This complies with the safety requirements that the edge of the tread should be clearly visible against the background and the tread surface should be slip resistant. Other nosing are available on request.

For 3mm loadbars subtract 2mm from the table widths. Widths can vary due to the manufacturing process (Tolerance -0 +10).
Notes: 1. The standard lengths of all panels are 6000mm. 2. The weight of fabricated grating increases with the addition of fittings, banding & treatment. The following % increases are a guide only: A&B Pattern - 12%, C&D Pattern - 14%, F Pattern 16%. 3. The table on page 20 has been arranged in increasing strength order. 4. U = Safe superimposed uniformly distributed load in KPA (100kg/sqm = 0.98KPa) 5. D = Deflection in millimetres for the load U. 6. Mass is calculated in the untreated condition. 7. Loads are calculated in accordance with an allowable bending stress of 171.6 MPa. 8. Loadbars are assumed to be simply supported. 9. Webforge reserves the right to use alternative section sizes provided this does not affect the performance of the product.

FRP Grating
FRP Grating can be manufactured from two resin systems - Type I (Green) uses isopthalic resin with class 1 flame spread rating of 25 or less, while providing excellent corrosion resistance over a broad range of chemicals. Type V (Yellow) uses vinylester resin base with class 1 flame spread rating of 25 or less, providing superior corrosion resistance to acidic environments and moderate resistance to caustic and solvent applications. Additional colours are available on request. FRP is supplied in standard panels 1220 x 3660mm or fabricated to customers specific requirements Weight of standard panels 25mm thick 51 kg 38mm thick 82 kg Open area 70% Bars are nominally 6mm thick One mesh pattern size 38 x 38mm square
Integral Construction
1. Integral, onepiece construction increases loadbearing capabilities. 2. Load applied to a Webforge FRP bar transferred to adjoining bearing bars, assisting in load distribution on the grating as well as on the support structure.

3. Square grid patterns benefit from integral onepiece construction. Smooth resinrich vertical surfaces and tapered bars allow all debris to fall through. 4. Continuous glass fibre strand in alternating layers thoroughly wetted with polyester resin for excellent corrosion resistance. 5. AntiSkid Surface. The top surface has bonded coarse grit to provide excellent skid resistance.
