    CLEAR SPAN

    This table is a convenient means of selecting grating for typical walk-way installations. If the distance between supports, and the load to be carried are known, the most eco-nomical type of grating to be used may be selected from the table below. Expanded metal grating has its greatest resistance to bending in the direction of the long way of thediamond. The LWD should always be placed across the span for best results.

    *3.14# grating in lieu of 3# if the application requires a grating having a larger dia-mond. Example: Outside catwalk in ice and snow.

    **4.27# grating may be used in lieu of 4# if the application requires a smaller dia-mond to afford protection from dropped tools and other objects.

    NOMENCLATURE

    C.S.F(hundred square feet) the unit of measure for price andweight.

    DIAMOND OR OPENINGThis is the description of the open areaformed by strands and bonds. Normally the open area is diamondshaped.

    BONDThe point where adjacent strands intersect. The bond isalways twice the width of the strand.

    SWD OR SWOShort way of diamond or short way of opening isthe dimension measured across the sheet in a direction parallel tothe smallest dimension of the diamond.

    LWD OR LWOLong way of diamond or long way of opening is thedimension measured across the sheet in a direction parallel to thelargest dimension of the diamond.

    MESHThis is the nominal distance from the mid-point of onebond to the mid-point of the next bond measured across the SWD.Mesh is expressed in inches.

    OPENING SIZEThe area enclosed by bonds and strands.

    OVERALL THICKNESSThis is the finished thickness and oftendetermines the selection of framing members.

    PERCENT OF OPEN AREAThese important relative percentagesare used by designers to calculate the degree with which light andair can pass through a piece of expanded metal.

    PITCHThe measurement from a point on one diamond to thesame point on an adjacent diamond.

    STRANDThe single metal strip which forms the border of thediamond, or opening. Strand width is the amount of materialadvanced for expanding as differentiated from strand thicknesswhich is the thickness of metal from which the expanded metal isproduced.

    STYLEIs the guage or thickness of metal from which expandedmetal is made. Usually, but not always, this conforms tomanufacturers standard guages. Style is expressed by a number.Expanded metal grating style is expressed in lbs. per square foot.

    FORMABILITYEach piece should be able to withstand a 90degree bend with a 1/4 in. inside radius in either direction, withoutfracture.

    LEVELINGAll expanded metal products except grating are leveledafter having been expanded.

    OUT OF SQUAREExpanded metal sheets are generally notperfectly square when finished. Sheets must be resquared byshearing on all sides for perfect squareness.

    Reshearing at the mill is not usually done since most sheets aresheared to size to be within tolerance.

    CAMBERBow in sheet. It is measured by placing a straight edgealong the concave side of the sheet parallel to LWD, touching bothends of the sheet. The maximum distance between the edge of theexpanded metal and the straight edge is the camber. A sheet maybe within a width tolerance and still have camber.

    PRODUCT DEFINITION

    REGULAR EXPANDED METAL is sheet simultaneously slit andstretched into a rigid, non-raveling open mesh. It is readilyavailable in carbon steel, aluminum and stainless steel.

    FLATTENED EXPANDED METAL is manufactured by processingregular expanded metal in a rolling mill. This rolling reduces thethickness of the sheet and provides a smooth flat sheet.

    EXPANDED METAL GRATING is produced from heavier plate,usually low-carbon steel, with larger diamonds. It is typically usedfor walkways and platforms.

    DECORATIVE EXPANDED METAL is manufactured with uniqueshaped openings which possess great appeal for architects anddesigners.

    STAIR TREADSExpanded Metal Grating Stair Treads arefabricated using 4.0# Grating, angles and bars. They are shippedready for installation on the job.

    FINISHINGLimited finishes can be accomplished atmanufacturing plants. This includes hot-dip galvanizing and pre-galvanizing.

    Special finishing such as anodizing, enameling, and plastic coatingcan be arranged by contacting your steel service center.

    SHEET SIZEWhile expanded metal can be manufactured in manyvarying sheet sizes, practical limitations are such that it is wise toselect sheet sizes shown in the catalog. Availability of sizes can bedetermined by contacting your steel service center.

    DISTRIBUTIONexpanded metal products are readily availablefrom large stocks maintained by your local steel service center.

    PRODUCT SELECTION

    The first step in the design of a product or fabricated assemblyincorporating expanded metal is to select the appropriateexpanded metal pattern, keeping in mind various productcharacteristics.

    The strength and rigidity of expanded metal material is determinedby Long Way of Design. On a walkway, for example, the LWDshould run perpendicular to the walkway support.

    Diamond direction also affects air deflection and diffusion,concealment properties and aesthetic appearance. Consult yoursupplier for suggestions.

    Most manufacturers can and do routinely furnish expanded metalin special (non-standard) sheet sizes when requested. In thisevent, it is important for the specifier to give some considerationto the edge configuration of the sheet as it relates to anyparticular requirement since the cost may be affected by themanufacturing operations necessary to shear the edge desired.

  • Bar GratingWelded Steel Grating(pages 1435)

    Standard Welded: AMICOs welded grating isused universally for walkway and mezzaninedecking applications. It is ideal for most generalindustrial and commercial uses. Standard weldedgrating is generally considered to include gratingwith bearing bars spaced at 1-3/16" or 15/16"and is available in carbon or stainless steel.

    Close-Mesh: Close-mesh grating is similar tostandard grating except that the spacing of thebearing bars is closer, ranging from 7/16" to13/16". It is suitable for applications requiringnarrow spacing for aesthetic or functional rea-sons. It is available in carbon or stainless steel.

    Railroad: Welded grating with spacings of 1-9/16"and 1-11/16" meet the requirements for AARapproved safety walkway products. This gratingis designed specifically for use as railcar brakesteps, running boards, walkways and platforms.

    Heavy-Duty: Heavy-Duty uses thicker (1/4",5/16", 3/8") and deeper bearing bars. Althoughthe tables show bars as deep as 6", deepergrating can be custom fabricated on request.Heavy-Duty is used for airfields, highways,industrial floors, ramps, docks, reinforcedconcrete areas and specialty applications.

    Press-Locked Steel and Aluminum Grating(pages 1521 / steel and pages 4147 / aluminum)

    Because this grating is a system of interlocking,perpendicular bars, it provides a smooth cleanlook ideal for architectural applications such asgrilles, dividers and screens. It is used in thesame structural applications as its welded steel

    and rectangular aluminum counterparts. Materi-als include carbon steel, stainless steel or alu-minum. Spacings range from 7/16" to 1-3/16".

    Swage-Locked Aluminum Grating(pages 37-40)

    Swage-locked aluminum grating is manufacturedwith either an I or rectangular bearing bar.These bars are permanently locked to the crossrods with a swaging process which reshapes the rods. Because of the flange width, I-barsreduce the open spaces of the grating yet I-barswage-locked is lighter weight and less costlythan a rectangular bar grating with the same barthickness.

    Duo-Grip Aluminum Planks(page 48)

    Duo-Grip planking is a one piece extrudedplank with exceptional strength and stiffness-to-weight ratio due to its I-beam ribs. It is availablein either unpunched, square punched or rectan-gular punched styles to suit lighting and ventila-tion considerations. The design provides con-tinuous walking surface for additional safety.

    Riveted Steel and Aluminum Grating(pages 5051 / steel and pages 5253 / aluminum)

    Riveted grating is especially practical for areaswhere rolling loads are used because of itssmoother surface. It is available in bothaluminum and steel.

    Riv-Dexteel(pages 5455)

    Riv-Dexteel is a high strength grating whichincorporates a truss style design through the useof a reticulated riveted bar in conjunction with astraight bearing bar. It has been used for nearly75 years as bridge decking, curb inlet grates,industrial flooring, driveways across culverts andheavy traffic areas.

    Material SelectionCarbon Steel: Carbon steel provides aneconomical, high strength grating for use in most industrial and commercial applications.

    Aluminum: Lightweight, corrosion resistant andnon-sparking alloys make aluminum ideal for usein chemical, petroleum, hydro and food process-ing plants, sewage, water and waste treatmentfacilities; munitions plants and other volatileareas; aboard ship; etc.

    Stainless Steel: Stainless steel is ideal for use incaustic atmospheres where corrosion resistanceand minimum carbide precipitation are importantconsiderations. It is especially applicable forchemical, food and hydro processing areas.

    Steel Bar GratingWelded Steel Bar Grating is the most popular of all grating types due toits strength, cost-efficient production and ease of installation. Universallyused in most general industrial plants as well as commercial buildings, ithas wide applications as walkways, platforms, safety barriers, drainagecovers and ventilation grates.

    It is also ideal for use as mezzanine decking since it supports thesame loads as comparable solid flooring. More than that, its cost savingopenness maximizes the circulation of air, light, heat, water and sound,while promoting cleanliness. And, where insurance codes permit, addi-tional sprinklers can often be eliminated. Standard panels are available inwidths of 2', 3' or 4'.

    Welded steel bar grating is resistance welded to create a rugged, one-piece constructed panel. The bearing bars are automatically resistancewelded at the contact point with the cross bars and, under a combinationof high heat and pressure, are fused together to form a permanent joint.The cross bars provide a high degree of rigidity, yet retain a smooth flatsurface for free and easy walking.

    Press-Locked Steel Bar Grating is often desirable because of itsclean, smooth look and excellent lateral support. It exhibits the samestrength, long life and openness as welded grating, although it is notrecommended for rolling loads. Instead of welding the joints, however,tremendous hydraulic pressure is used to bond the two close-toleranceslotted bars together. Permanent locking is achieved by forcing the deepcross bar into the notched bearing bar.

    Further fabrication or galvanizing is not recommended after thematerial leaves AMICO.

    Steel Welded Railroad Grating, in 1-9/16" and 1-11/16" spacings, isAAR (Association of American Railroads) approved and specified forbrake steps, running boards, walkways and platforms for railroad cars.Designed and engineered specifically for railroad use, AMICO-Klemp

    railroad grating is used by both new car and car repair facilities since it isinterchangeable with other AAR approved gratings. The serrated bearingbars provide additional safety and the openness of bar grating minimizesbuild up of snow, ice and other debris.
