Installation Methods for Steel Grating
During the installation of steel grating, the choice of fixing method directly affects structural safety and service life. How to make the optimal decision based on project requirements? This article provides a professional comparison of the advantages and characteristics of both welded and bolted installation methods.
I. Characteristics of Welded Steel Grating Installation
Advantages
Strong fixation with minimal risk of loosening
Suitable for light-load and vibration-prone environments
Excellent resistance to wind and moisture
Technical Requirements
Continuous fillet welding process required
Weld leg height ≥ 5 mm
Anti-rust treatment necessary after welding
II. Advantages of Bolted Steel Grating Installation
Installation Features
Fast installation, improving efficiency by up to 40%
No need for certified welders
Removable and reusable
Key Technical Considerations
Use of anti-loosening nuts
Installation of elastic washers
Torque values maintained within specified range
III. Selection Recommendations
Preferred for Welded Installation
Light-load equipment platforms
High-altitude edge areas
Environments with long-term vibration
Preferred for Bolted Installation
Temporary facilities / structures
Areas requiring regular maintenance or access
Light-load walkways
