Composite grating
Fiberglass grating is also known as composite grating, GRP grating, and FRP grating. The reason for naming this product as composite grating is the use of fiber and resin combination in its production.
Nowadays, this type of grating has gained many fans, the main reason of which is its special and very high resistance, which is due to the property of the raw materials used in its production, which has a very high resistance in acidic, alkaline and chemical environments and also has a very good resistance against impact.
In the following, in addition to examining the advantages, we will present all the items related to this product to you dear ones.
Due to the use of composite fibers, it has a very strong skeleton, which has caused it to rank first in terms of bearing high pressure, impact, environmental and weather conditions compared to similar products.
In the opposite picture, you can see a sample of this product in various colors.
Stay with us to explain the advantages and applications of this product in full in the following.
Types of fiberglass grating
Fiberglass gratings can be divided into three main categories, each of which is made and produced according to the type of application and installation environment.
Below we will examine each of these models separately.
Molded grating:
This type of grating has standard dimensions, which is produced in size of 1220 by 3660 mm. The dimensions of the molded grating eyes are 38 by 38 mm and have a thickness between 25 and 50 mm, which is calculated and determined by the experts and specialists of Ajineh Sanat Arak Company in this field according to the type of application.
Pultruded grating:
Pultruded grating is also called FRP grating. For the production of this type of grating, composite profiles in the shape of English letters I and T are used. This model is made and produced in various sizes according to the customer’s needs and due to the high percentage of fibers, it has a very good tolerance and resistance.
Covered grating:
Covered or coated grating is also called GRP grating. This type of grating is a combination of molded and pultruded gratings, which is mostly used in places where the surface needs to be covered and there is no possibility of using pultruded and molded gratings.
Benefits of composite grating
The benefits and advantages of fiberglass grating, which make it a unique product compared to similar products, are its non-conductivity, high resistance to fire, heat, chemicals and acids.
Below we will explain the characteristics of this product in more detail to you dear ones.
Low weight:
Compared to similar steel products, it has a quarter of the weight and a higher strength-to-weight ratio.
Reasonable price:
Compared to other similar products, due to the long life and cost of materials used in its production, it has a more reasonable price.
Easy and economical installation:
Unlike other similar products, there is no need for welding and cutting to install this product, and it can be installed using very simple tools.
Insulation of grating:
Due to the materials used in its construction, it is the best option for use in places where people pass and floor coverings in the path of electric current.
Fire resistance:
The resin used in its construction has a class one and a flame spread rate of 25 or less according to ASTM E-84 standards.
Non-magnetic grating:
It is the best option in places where there is no possibility of using metal products due to the presence of magnetic properties in the environment.
Corrosion resistance:
If the appropriate resin grade is used in its construction, it can show very high resistance in chemical, acidic and alkaline environments.
Other advantages of fiberglass grating
This product has many features. The reason for its many advantages is also the use of composite fibers in its production.
Other cases can be mentioned as the lack of need for a separate coating such as galvanizing in metal grating, the possibility of production in various and beautiful colors (with standard colors such as yellow and red in gas and petrochemical industries and green and gray in beautification and urbanization), resistance to moisture, long life, no need for repair and maintenance, resistance to impact, strength-to-weight ratio much higher than similar steel and aluminum products, easy relocation, easy cutting and machining, etc.
Application of fiberglass grating
As we mentioned above, due to its many advantages and benefits and the possibility of use in acidic and chemical environments, as well as low weight, high resistance and reasonable price, it has many applications, which can be mentioned as follows:
Various uses in the electricity industry
Chemical laboratories
Food industries
As a cover in different places
Flooring of factories
Ship deck
Ladder and stairs
Oil platforms
Treatment plants
Refinery
And many other cases that this product can be the best option for use.
Price of fiberglass grating
Due to the custom nature of the product and the price fluctuations of raw materials, there is practically no possibility of placing a price.
If you need to inquire about the price of fiberglass grating you need, contact the sales experts of the company to respond to you as soon as possible.
Production process
The method of production and production of composite grating is very different from other gratings, which we will briefly examine the production process of this product below.
After calculating the exact factors required from this type of grating and the type of performance and installation location by the company’s experts, the fibers impregnated with resin, which are calculated in advance, are accurately and coordinated into the mold.
After completing and accurately performing the fiber placement stage, it is time to bake, which is done by heating the mold.
After completing this process, the gratings made are sent to the relevant section for cleaning and after quality control by the company’s expert, they are ready to be sent to the customer’s desired location for installation.
