FOREWORD
The NAAMM Metal Bar Grating Manual provides architects and engineers withcurrent technical data on bar gratings and stair treads of steel, stainless steel, andaluminum. The information contained is based on sound engineering principlesand reflects practices recommended by leading manufacturers in the industry.
The first six editions of the manual have been widely used by the designprofessions. In preparing this seventh edition, the Metal Bar Grating Division ofNAAMM has reviewed its contents in detail and has made revisions to reflectcurrent practices.
The load tables in this edition are based on the design formulas and proceduresfound in MBG 534, Metal Bar Grating Engineering Design Manual, which wasdeveloped to provide a clearer understanding of the procedures used in thedesign of grating and treads.
Also included are metric equivalents as an aid to designers who use the metricsystem.The system of metric measurement used is from IEEE/ASTM SI 10-2002,“Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): The Modern MetricSystem”.
Changes from the previous edition, ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531-00 are indicated bythe placement of a vertical line next to the changed item.

center-to-center
For welded or pressure-locked grating this is the
distance, in inches, center-to-center of cross bars.
For riveted grating it is the distance in inches cen-
ter-to-center of rivets, measured along a single
bearing bar.

3.3 Approval Drawings
If required by the Buyer, the Seller shall submit to the Buyer one electronic copy of detaileddrawings in outline form for the latter’s review. The Buyer shall return one copy markedwith his approval or desired changes. Should changes be required which involve work notcalled for in the original construction plans and specifications, the Seller shall have theright to charge extra for the engineering work required to make such changes. After allnecessary corrections and/or changes are made, the drawings shall be re-submitted tothe Buyer for his final review. The Seller shall not proceed with any shop work untildrawings are approved for fabrication.
3.4 Installation Drawings
If requested, the Seller shall furnish to the Buyer an electronic copy of all installationdrawings.
