Welded Stainless Steel Grating
Welded stainless steel gratings are made of bearing bars and cross bars. The bearing bar is the main load-bearing component of the grating. It is available in a variety of thicknesses and depths. The crossbar is the secondary load-bearing component of the grating, and it is available in a variety of thicknesses. The two types of bars are joined together using welding, which results in a strong and rigid joint.
Press-Locked Stainless Steel Grating
Press-locked stainless gratings are made of bearing bars and cross bars. The bearing bar is the main load-bearing component of the grating. It is available in a variety of thicknesses and depths. The crossbar is the secondary load-bearing component of the grating, and it is available in a variety of thicknesses. To join the two types of bars together, they are pressed into each other using a high-pressure process. This results in a strong and rigid joint.

Stainless Steel Grating Fastening Methods
1.Welded Anchorage
Welding is ideal for permanent installations, while mechanical fasteners are a good option for when the grating needs to be removable or welding is not possible. For pedestrian applications, the minimum weld pattern to the right also serves as a guide for minimum fastener spacing. However, for vehicular applications, additional welding, size, and spacing may be required, as determined by the specifying authority.
2.Saddle Clips
Our saddle clips are made from steel, stainless steel, or aluminum and are suitable for use in installations where grating may need to be removed. In certain instances, it may be necessary to cut cross bars to accommodate fastener clearance during installation. Typically, saddle clips will be positioned in the same location as the welds unless specified otherwise. The fasteners have a diameter of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm).
3.Weld Lugs
Weld lugs are utilized for installations where the grating may require removal. These lugs will be positioned in the same location as the welds unless otherwise indicated. The fasteners used for weld lugs have a diameter of 1/4 inch (6.4 mm).
The Process Flow for Stainless Steel Grating
Ensure that the gratings will be of the highest quality. A few crucial steps in the manufacturing process need to follow. If these steps follow suit, the gratings will be defect-free and have a long lifespan. Below is an outline of the process flow for manufacturing gratings:
Step 1: Material And Construction:
The first step is to select the appropriate material for the gratings. GI-RO technique offers different constructions of grating, each with its advantages. After deciding which structure to use, the materials are select. The most common materials used are stainless steel and aluminum.
Step 2:Tensioning:
The material is then tensioned to create a tight, even surface. It helps if the surface is not entirely flat but has a slight curvature. Avoiding any distortion in the wavefront and ensuring that the grating is flat is crucial. Stainless steel is tensioned using either a jig or a template.
Step 3: Stainless Steel Gratings In All Sizes:
At GI-RO technique produce stainless steel gratings in all sizes. To using the highest quality materials, cut the gratings to size with a water jet cutter. This results in perfect 90-degree corners and clean, burr-free cut edges.
Step 4:Surface Of The Gratings:
Acid cleaned, brushed, or blasted – the surface of the gratings can be adapted to the customer’s needs. Stainless steel gratings are usually acid-cleaned, which gives them a bright and shiny surface. The gratings can be blasted or brushed if a different surface finish is required.
Step 5: Crossbar Welds:
The gratings are then welded to the crossbars. By using a TIG welder, it is possible to create very small and precise welds. The welder has a special Argon gas protection, which prevents the formation of oxides on the weld.
Step 6:Fixing Of The Gratings:
After the gratings are welded to the crossbars, they need to be fixed. To fix the gratings, they are welded or screwed to the supporting structure. In this way, the gratings are securely fastened and cannot be removed without damaging them.
Step 7:End Products:
The gratings are now ready to be used! They can deliver in either sheets or ready-to-install panels. If the customer needs a specific size or shape, the GI-RO technique can also cut the gratings to order.

Frequently Asked Questions
A stainless steel grating is a metal grate that is made out of stainless steel. It is used in various applications, such as in commercial kitchens and food processing plants, where it helps to keep the floor clean and free of debris.
When choosing a stainless steel grating, you need to consider the size, shape, and thickness of the metal grate. You also need to decide if you want a plain or coated grate. Plain gratings are less expensive but they may not last as long as coated gratings. Coated gratings, on the other hand, are more expensive but they are more durable and easier to clean.
The installation of a stainless steel grating is relatively simple. First, you need to mark the location where you want to install the grate. Then, you need to drill holes into the floor so that you can bolt the grating down. Once the grate is bolted down, you need to seal the edges with silicone caulk to prevent water and debris from getting under the grate.
Stainless steel gratings are easy to clean. You can simply hose them down with water or use a pressure washer. If you need to remove tougher dirt and grime, you can use a mild detergent and scrub the grate with a brush. For best results, you should clean your stainless steel grating on a regular basis.
Stainless steel gratings are very durable and they can last for many years. However, they may eventually start to show signs of wear and tear. If you notice any damage, you should have the grating repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
