SAFE WORKING LOADS & DEFLECTION TABLES "W" TYPE GRATING with load bearing bars @ 41 mm

Safe uniformly dist ributed loads (U.D.L.) in kilonewtons per square centres Cross bars @ 100 mm centres
metre on simply supported panels with deflections (D) in mm. Based
on a maximum permissible stress of 180 N/mm2 which allows for a
safety factor of 1.6

Note: fo r pedestrian traffic there are three load ing categories wh ich are (a) light duty,
(b) Normal duty and (e) heavy duty. These categories are described as (a) access limited to
one person only, (b) regular two way traffic and (el high density traffic. 8S4592, Part uW100" types

NOTE: - For 3mm load bars subtract 2mm from widths

- Width dimensions can vary due to manufacturing process. Refer t o the Manufacturing Tolerances
- Maximum length (LB span) available for this mesh opening is GOOOmm

Standard width.

Unit weights give n in the above are for cross bar spacing of 100mm .
Add 0.56 kg/s.m . to get weight of gratings with fixing clips.
For other available cross bar spaCings. add the following values:
