FRP Grating Specifications, Load Data and Selection Guide

Grating Specifications and Related Product Lines

This page covers specifications and load data for molded and pultruded FRP grating. The overview below groups the related supply scope by product line so engineering and procurement teams can compare them side by side.

Molded FRP Grating

Molded construction with a regular mesh pattern for platforms, walkways and trench covers; mesh and resin system can be selected to match load-bearing and corrosion requirements.

Pultruded FRP Profiles and Grating

Pultruded profiles and grating offer stable longitudinal strength for long-span support structures and are often combined with molded grating in industrial platforms and stair systems.

1 . Molded grating - mesh and panel data

Bar thickness is given as top / bottom. Open area affects drainage and ventilation; weight affects the support structure you need.

3 . Resin systems, flame class and oxygen index

The number in a system code is the ASTM E84 flame spread index: a lower figure means the material spreads flame less, and 25 or less is the threshold normally specified as Class 1. Oxygen index is a separate measure of ignitability. Choose the resin by the chemical environment first; the chemical resistance document gives the data medium by medium.

Resin chemistry, not the brand, determines chemical resistance. Our formulation is our own: the base resin is one component, and supplier details are not published.

4 . Load and deflection data

Deflection is given in millimetres for the stated span and load. The limit load column is the failure threshold and must not be used as a working load.

5 . How to use these tables

  • Choose the mesh by open area and weight: a larger mesh drains and ventilates better, a smaller mesh carries more load and stops small objects falling through.
  • Choose the resin system by the chemical environment, not by price. See the oxygen index table above.
  • Read the deflection table at your actual support span. A common working limit is L/100 for walkways and L/200 where a stiffer feel is required.
  • Treat the limit load as a safety reference only. Design working loads well below it.
  • Confirm the panel size against your opening before ordering; panels can be cut to size on request.
