Common Mistakes We Frequently Meet in Steel Grating Purchase

As we all know, steel grating is a versatile steel product. It has a rigid structure, excellent corrosion resistance and great ventilation. Therefore, it is widely used in many fields like building decorations and industrial platforms. However, we find that some customers may fall into some common purchasing traps that may have an adverse effect on the proper selection of steel gratings. Here we list some common mistakes we frequently encounter to help you avoid these traps and choose proper steel gratings.

Price or Quality

Firstly, some clients consider price to be the primary criterion for selecting steel gratings. As for its quality, they tend to think it is enough as long as it can work normally. However, most steel gratings are installed in places where they are subject to high pressure and heavy load. Therefore, quality is more important than the price. Just compare the loss of damaged steel gratings or the price of superior steel gratings, which one would cost more? You will have your own idea.

Automatic or Manual Welded Steel Gratings

Secondly, some customers are unfamiliar with the difference between manually welded steel gratings and automatic welded steel gratings. Some customers even regard them as two completely same products. However, they differ a lot from each other. The automatic welded steel grating has neat, beautiful appearance, and even zinc coating to avoid the corrosion arising from uneven galvanizing. In addition, its welding points are much stronger than that of manually welded steel grating, so it has higher rigidity to withstand high pressure and heavy load. Therefore, we must decide to choose manually welded steel grating or automatic welded steel grating when placing orders.

Thirdly, some customers prefer choosing steel gratings with larger spacing under the same specifications to save budget. Larger spacing means lower cost yet less resistance to pressure and less load capacity. As we all know, steel gratings are mostly used as walkways and platform foundations. Therefore, if the load on the walkways and platform foundations increases within a short period, it will be very dangerous.

Therefore, you'd better purchase steel gratings from large manufacturers with sufficient production capacity and manufacturing equipment to achieve coat saving and quality assurance just like us. We can provide both welded and press-locked steel gratings that are suitable for platforms, walkways, drain covers, ceilings, etc. We can provide you with drawing planning, installation instructions and other services. Besides, we can recommend and produce the most suitable and cost-effective products according to your use environments and load requirements.

Points To Note When Purchasing Galvanized Steel Grating

When buying galvanized steel gratings, it is important to understand that galvanized steel gratings are now widely used in many industries, such as power stations, boilers, chemical industries and other general industries. Galvanized steel gratings are ventilated, light-transmissive, non-slip, and have strong bearing capacity. They are beautiful and durable, easy to clean, easy to install and other advantages. As a new material and new product, steel grating is being used more and more widely, and its superior performance and the good cost performance shows its application prospects. Because of its ventilation, non-slip, beautiful and other advantages, it has also been praised by consumers.

So, when choosing galvanized steel grating, how to choose good quality? Let us learn.

First, when buying a galvanized steel grating, you must first look at the steel layer on the surface of the galvanized steel grating. This is the most important consideration for the galvanized steel grating made of carbon steel. Since the quality of galvanized steel grating mainly depends on the thickness of its surface steel layer, we all know that galvanized steel grating can be divided into cold galvanized and hot-dip galvanized. The price of hot-dip galvanized is higher than that of cold galvanized. It has a long service life and also has strong corrosion resistance. Because the thickness of the surface steel layer can reach 7um, the surface steel thickness of cold galvanized steel grating is only 1um. Although the price is much cheaper than hot steel, it is not as good as hot-dip galvanizing in terms of service life, because the thickness of the steel layer directly determines its corrosion resistance.

Secondly, the quality of raw materials should take into account the quality gap of the screen when using specific raw materials. In order to save costs, many undesirable steel gratings manufacturers use recycled scrap to produce flat steel instead of carbon steel. This may cause the problem of insufficient load bearing, and the steel body may be deformed as the use time increases. All of these are caused by the use of scrap steel. Therefore, we must find a reputable brand manufacturer to purchase.

Thirdly, the flat steel correction level and welding level were carefully inspected. The flat steel correction level and the welding level of the mesh plate also have a great influence on the quality of the mesh plate. The flat steel correction level and welding level also have a great influence on the quality of the stencil, and also have a great influence on the quality of the stencil. For example, the diagonal tolerance should be controlled within an acceptable range. Therefore, when buying galvanized steel grating, you can judge from the above aspects. Only in this way can we purchase high-quality products for better use.
