Steel Bar Grating, Stainless Steel Grating - FS Industries

When caustic atmospheres are encountered, or when
corrosion resistance and/or minimum carbide
precipitation are essential considerations, stainless
steel grating is the answer. The longer lasting
capabilities of stainless steel under these special
conditions make it an economical selection over the
long term. Shot blasting or wire brushing should be avoided since
these operations can cause iron contamination which,
if not removed, will cause rusting and discoloration of
the surface. Such contamination can be removed by
passivation. Electro-polishing leaves a passive surface.
The swage-locked and presslocked processes will
not show discoloration due to welding. It is ideal for use in food processing areas, breweries,
bottling plants, dairies and meat packing plants. Stainless
steel can also be used in power plants, sewage treatment
plants, pumping stations and hydrocarbon processing
facilities where various caustic environments are normal.
It also has application in shipboard and building industries
where saline solutions or atmospheres are present. Unless otherwise specified, stainless steel grating
shall have a mill finish as fabricated. "As fabricated"
means as fabricated in our shop without a subsequent
finishing operation. Stainless steel will show some
discoloration around the joints due to welding
Finishes available to remove discoloration include
sand blasting and electro-polishing, the latter being
used where bright finish is desired.
