Load Deflection Table - Mild Steel G3

Use the table below and over the page to select the Grating Pattern that best suits your span requirements

Based on a 4kPa loading, the span indicated to the far right of the tables is what we recommend as a clear maximum span
when the grating is fixed in accordance with our recommendations. Use the nominal spans across the top of the tables as
an indication for other load requirements you may have. The heavy black line shows where the maximum span falls based
on the 4kPa load. Any span left of this line is compliant.

Banding, Support & Fixing Requirements G5

Banding
Standard branding is 5mm flat bar welded to the perimeter
of all grating panels.

Banding and kickplate banding is considered within the

perimeter of the panel size. They are welded to the side of
the cut bars and kickplate is not welded to the top of the
grating load bars.

Support Requirements
• Grating load bars must be supported.
• Support at maximum span intervals is required (subject
to load).
• Supporting the end of each panel is required but
supporting the sides is not.
• Panels that have more than two supports to fix the grating
Kickplate banding
to can cantilever on the load bar ends to a maximum of
250mm (subject to load & fixing method).
• Panels must never cantilever in the twist rod direction. Standard banding bar
• Banding on a cutout is not designed to support the lopad
bars and therefore support should be provided around
cutouts.
• See the Supports Requirements section on page G20 for
more information.

Fixing Requirements
Securing the panels if required can be with welding,
MA001MG, MA002MG, or Huck fastener and clip for
steel grating, as shown in the diagram.
MA005MG, MA006MG or MA007MG Huck

Fabrication
We supply a Grating Marking Plan which shows the general arrangement of each panel. Each panel is identified with a
panel mark number, which we allocate if you do not provide. In accordance with the Australian Standards we allow a nominal
10mm gap between panels. This should also be allowed around penetrations and from the edge of supporting steel at the
perimeter of the grating. We can send a marking plan for approval prior to starting fabrication.

www.mentis.com.au
Grating Fabrication G6

Most of the grating supplied by Mentis is custom fabricated to our clients requirements, this saves time on site and ensures
the integrity of the surface treatment.

Once supplied with a Grating Design drawing, our team of drafting professionals split the floor into standard grating widths
to suit our stock sheets. Standard widths vary depending on the pattern of grating selected, from the previous pages. Once
combined, by laying panels side by side with a 10mm maximum gap, the panels will form a complete floor area, like a jigsaw
puzzle. Each panel is identified with a unique mark number that is pin stamped and welded to the banding for identification.
These relate to the Grating Marking Plan we provide you, which in turn shows where each panel is located in relation to
each other.

A specialised team of fabricators, with vast years of grating experience, have access to the latest cutting and welding
equipment to produce quality and accurate grating panels. Grating fabrication also extends into the manufacture of stair
treads with a variety of anti-slip nosings.

Once fabricated, we can arrange for the grating or stair treads to be surface treated to your specification.
Generally most clients call for grating to be galvanised.

All grating fabrication is in accordance with Australian Standard 1657-2013 paragraph 3.3.

Square Bar Cleats & Yellow Abrasive Strips G13

Square Bar Cleats are required for sloping walkways, they are welded to the top surface of the grating to provide extra grip.
The Australian Standards AS1657-2013 5.3.3 states that cleats are required for slopes between 10 and 20 degrees. Square
Bar Cleats are 10mm x 10mm solid square bar which run the full width of the walkway.
335
335
For flat walkways anti slip abrasive Pattern A & B 162 335 335 163

strips can also be used, made from 162 335 335 163

5 5 5
the same material as the Yellow 162 335 335 163
Abrasive Nosing on T5 and T6 stair
treads. A flat strip of Yellow Abrasive
material is bolted to the top surface of 995
the grating, this is done after surface 995
treatment and means the strips can 995
be replaced if required.
5 5 5

If the Yellow Abrasive Strips are 162 335 335 163

required, we recommend the 162 335 335 163
following spacing to ensure panels 162 335 335 163
are identical for efficient site
installation of the grating panels.

Floor Plate and Mentex Grating G14

Floor Plate Grating

Ments Floor Plate Grating is a composite of floor plate welded to the top of grating. Any grating pattern can be combined
with any floor plate thickness. We recommend F pattern grating.

Floor plate thickness Grating Weight / Sqm Maximum Span

3 mm F255MP* 45 kg 1390 mm
5 mm F255MP* 61 kg 1390 mm
3 mm F325MP* 50 kg 1625 mm
5 mm F325MP* 65 kg 1625 mm

Where (*) indicates treatment. Refer to options.

How to Order Floor Plate Grating

1. Choose the product type required by reference to the
recommendations shown above OR
Choose a grating by using the pattern choices on page
G3 and choose an appropriate load bar from the load
deflection table.

2. Banded or unbanded.

3. Nominate the required thickness of the floorplate, 3mm

or 5mm.

Examples:

Mentis FP3-F255MPG
1/1500 X 4500 span (in 1 piece)

Mentis FP5-A325MPG
2/3000 X 750 span (each in 4 pieces)

Mentis FP5-F325MPG
All as per drawing supplied.

Mentex Grating
Mentis Mentex Grating is a composite of grating with a light
gauge expanded metal welded to the underside to prevent
tools and small objects from falling through the grating.
Complies
with AS 1657-2013 paragraph 4.5.

How to Order Mentex Grating

1. Select a grating from the pattern choice on page G3 and
choose an appropriate load bar from the load/deflection
table..
2. Banded or unbanded.

3. Nominate “Mentis Mentex Grating” with your pattern

choice on the drawing.

FRP Grating G15

Mentis FRP grating is manufactured by interlacing reinforcing glass fibre strands within a polyester resin. Gratings produced
using this technique yield a product having 25-35% (by total weight) of fibreglass reinforcement. All grating is manufactured
from a premium grade thermosetting polyester resin, thermally cured in the mould. For fire retardant protection, the resins
used are complete with antimony trioxide to obtain Class 1 Fire Rating of 25 or less as per ASTM-E-84.

Colour pigmented throughout the resin will be green . Ultraviolet inhibitors are included to meet the specifications of
UL-94-VO. Products manufactured to these specifications can expect a life rating B, or 50 years before rehabilitation is required.

Load Bar
Vertical flat bars constituting the grating strength.

Twist Rod
Twisted square bar forged into the top of the load bars.

Banding
The flat bar welded to the exposed ends of load bars for
safety during installation.

Kickplate
Flat bar typically 130 x 6 replacing banding conforming
to Australian Standards minimum 100mm above top
of grating.

Cut to Size Only

No end banding included.

Length
The load bar length plus the banding if required.
This is always the width no matter the orientation..

Width

Span
The open space between the support steel.
Used to calculate load bar deflection.

Serration
Notch top edge of load bar to increase slip resistance.

Glossary of Terms G24

Nosings
An added strip attached to the leading edge of stair tread
and landing for visual indication of an edge.

Available types:
• Abrasive (yellow)
• Floor plate (colour to match grating).

Cutouts or Penetrations
Removed sections of grating that are banded either with
standard banding or kickplate banding.

Fingers
Exposed ends of FRP bar that are not cut flush with the
adjacent bar.
