Multigrid® Grating

Multigrid® is a 1/2" deep multipurpose lightweight FRP grating originally designed to be used as safety screening. Multigrid is available in 4' x 12' and 4' x 15' panels. With its 3/16" bars which are slightly thicker than AirMesh, Multigrid can also be used as a slip-resistant surface on floors and a protective walkway when installed on top of trickling filter media in wastewater applications. The 2" x 2" mesh size ensures continuous application of wastewater and suspended solids without plugging.
This product can also be used for a wide range of industrial, commercial and institutional applications including machinery guards, fencing, space dividers in factories and warehouses and cages for tools, equipment and animals. Safety barriers or cages are another common use where di-electric or corrosive conditions require protection for working personnel.

Load and Deflection Data

SQUARE Load capacity and deflection data was developed using the Recommended Test Procedures for Access Floors by the Ceilings & Interior Systems Construction Association (CISCA). Setup requires that panels "...shall be supported on an understructure support identical to that utilized in an installed system."

ALL LOAD POINTS 1" SQUARE

CONDITIONS:

CASE I. Concentrated loading at the center of the panel (centroid)
CASE II. Concentrated loading at the mid point of the edge (centerline edge)
CASE III. Ultimate Capacity - Concentrated loading at the center of the panel (centroid)
CASE IV. Ultimate Capacity - Concentrated loading at the midpoint of the edge (centerline edge)
CASE V. Ultimate Capacity - Concentrated loading at the "weakest point" of the panel
CASE VI. Ultimate Capacity - Pedestal

Micro-Mesh® Access Flooring

Micro-Mesh® fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) access flooring system is designed as a low cost alternative to aluminum, steel, stainless steel and other materials in applications where corrosion resistant under-floor access and unobstructed air flow is required. Lightweight, 2' x 2' Micro-Mesh panels are easily removed, providing ready access to electrical conduits, air supply plenums and service lines.
Micro-Mesh panels are the right choice to minimize vibration from rolling cart or wheelchair traffic. The ADA compliant 1/2" open area between bearing bars also prevents small tools and other objects from falling through the grating to the surface below. The "15 mm ball test" requirement, common in Europe and in offshore applications, is easily met by Micro-Mesh panels.
Adjustable quad-head grating pedestals allow for a fast, smooth installation and readily adjust to sub-floor contour to provide a level flooring surface. Micro-Mesh panels come standard with a smooth top and are also available with meniscus and applied grit tops.
Fibergrate is now offering the 1-1/2" deep Micro-Mesh with 3/4" square top mesh in a 4' x 12' panel. In addition, the following new Micro-Mesh panels are also available: 1" deep with 3/4" square top mesh (4' x 12') and 1-1/8" deep with 1" square top mesh (1M x 3M) - see pages 4 and 5 for product details. Load table information for all new panels can be found on pages 9 and 11.

AirMesh® Screening

Originally designed to meet United States Navy specifications (ELS resin system) for air intake screens on ships, AirMesh® molded FRP screening is now available for use in marine, commercial and general industrial applications. AirMesh is 1/2" deep, 1-1/2" square mesh screening with 1/8" thick bars available in 4' x 8' panels. To meet a wide range of requirements, AirMesh is available in all standard Fibergrate® molded resin systems. This advanced screen features an 87% open area, allowing a generous airflow and a standard smooth surface for worker safety. This open area also contributes to the light weight of AirMesh, making it easier to install. Corrosion resistant, anti-magnetic and non-conductive, AirMesh provides long, reliable life, even in the most demanding conditions. Fiberglass Specialty Gratings
