Steel Grating Catalog

Press-welded steel bar grating — specifications, common models, and full YB/T 4001.1 Appendix E load & deflection tables for flat bar (30 / 40 / 20 mm pitch), I-bar, and heavy-duty series.

Product overview

Welded steel bar grating structure diagram showing bearing bars, cross bars, span, width, bar depth, bar thickness, and spacing dimensions
Key dimensions and terminology.
Close-up of forge-welded crossing between bearing bar and twisted cross bar on galvanized steel grating
Crossing detail — forge weld at each intersection.

Press-welded (electro-forged) steel bar grating: bearing bars and twisted square cross bars are resistance-welded at every intersection under approximately 1,000 kN forge pressure. The result is a permanently fused grid with high structural integrity, open area for ventilation, light and drainage, and predictable load paths for engineering design.

Designation example

W-30-100, 30×5, Q235B, Serrated, Hot-Dip Galvanized — welded, 30 mm bar pitch, 100 mm cross pitch, 30×5 mm bearing bar, carbon steel, serrated, HDG. YB/T model codes (e.g. G305/30/100W) may also be used.

Common models

Approximate weights for untreated, unbanded panels. HDG adds ~5–10%. T = twisted square cross bar. Ball = heel-proof clear opening.

Design notes

  • Simply supported: All tables below assume simply supported spans perpendicular to bearing bars. Span range: 200–3000 mm in 200 mm steps.
  • U vs C: U tables are for 50 mm cross-bar pitch (uniform load, kN/m²). C tables are for 100 mm cross-bar pitch (line load, kN/m). This follows YB/T Appendix E conventions.
  • Safe loads: Values are safe working loads extracted from YB/T 4001.1-2007 Appendix E — they do not include national partial safety factors. Request stamped calculation sheets for code compliance.
  • Deflection: Typical limit is span/200 or stricter (owner specification governs). Serrated bars reduce effective depth slightly.
  • Continuous spans, dynamic loads, and vehicular wheel loads require project-specific analysis — contact Wiberg engineering.
  • Installation: Welded or clip-fixed. Removable grating per YB/T requires minimum 4 clips per panel. See Installation and Fixings.
