Compare the similarities and differences between fiberglass grating and steel grating

Fiberglass grating and steel grating are two commonly used materials of different materials, both of which have certain load-bearing and compressive capabilities. Many friends often inquire about which one to use. In this article, the editor will compare the similarities and differences between fiberglass grating and steel grating.
Steel grating is welded from steel and is generally used for load-bearing purposes in large equipment. Therefore, steel grating has a stronger load-bearing capacity than fiberglass grating. Fiberglass grating is different from wooden and metal panels, as it has strong toughness.

 Fiberglass grating panel

When subjected to sufficiently high pressure, it will not break or deform. Strong toughness leads to high crack resistance, mainly due to two reasons: strong cohesion between the raw material resin and glass fiber yarn; The criss crossing of fiberglass yarns makes the mesh structure of fiberglass grating more stable.
Due to the use of glass fiber filaments and resin composite, the density of fiberglass grating is very low. Compared with steel grating of the same specifications, the weight of fiberglass grating is only one fourth of that of steel grating. Although the density of fiberglass grating is small, its hardness is many times higher than that of polyethylene and aluminum.
The raw materials required for fiberglass grating are melted glass at high temperatures, and resin is added during the production process. Therefore, the production cost of fiberglass grating is higher than that of steel grating. Although the production cost and price of fiberglass grating are high, there is no need for maintenance costs after the installation of fiberglass grating. Although the price of steel grating is lower, a considerable amount of maintenance costs need to be paid in the later stage.

Grating

Installing fiberglass grating is much simpler than steel grating. Although fiberglass grating is expensive, it is lightweight and has good elasticity, so it can be cut freely during installation without the need for lifting equipment, requiring only a small amount of labor and cutting tools. Due to the use of non-metallic materials, the corrosion resistance of fiberglass grating is very good. Fiberglass grating will not undergo electrochemical corrosion and rust in chemical media, nor will it damage the structure of the material.
From the above description, we can see that both fiberglass grating and steel grating have their own advantages. However, if the application requires corrosiveness, it is still recommended to choose fiberglass grating.
