The swaging process allows the assembly of bar grating panels by mechanically
locking the cross bars at right angles to the bearing bars at a maximum
of 4” on center. This process provides the clean crisp lines of
a recessed cross bar and eliminates the discoloration inherent with welded
bar grating. As with swaged carbon, this product is manufactured free
of the warping, twisting and burn marks, which are characteristic of
electro forge welded stainless steel grating. Additionally, the heat
generated as part of that process, limits how close together the bars
may be placed. By using the most modern technology available, swaged
bar grating allows for a variety of spacings including close spacings
of 7/16” cc between bearing bars which have been approved by the
American with Disabilities Act.
Stainless steel grating has been the standard
industrial flooring product for severe corrosive environments and has
been a popular grating choice
for many years. OGI manufactures stainless swaged bar grating from
type 304 stainless steel bar. Type 316 is also available (limited stock)
along
with other special alloys by special order. Special finishes are available
depending on the requirements set forth by the architect. Stainless
steel grating is used at chemical plants, food processing facilities,
oil & gas
producers, metal & mining facilities, pulp & paper plants and
is also used in many other commercial and architectural applications.
Typical applications for the above markets include:
