What is the difference between steel grating and FRP grating?

difference between steel grating and FRP grating

Weight:

The FRP grating is lighter and the steel grating is heavier. Because FRP grating is much lighter than steel grating, it has been widely used in all walks of life, such as FRP grating for car wash room, because of its light weight, it is deeply loved by car wash workers. FRP molded grating is compounded by resin and glass fiber. Its density is low. Compared with steel grating, FRP grating is only 1/4 of steel and 2/3 of aluminum, and its strength is higher than that of hard polyvinyl chloride. 10 times that of aluminum, and its absolute strength exceeds 10 times that of aluminum. It is light in weight, can greatly reduce the foundation support, and reduce the material cost of the project. Due to the low density and high strength of FRP grating, it is more suitable than ordinary steel grating.

Products cost:

The cost of FRP grating is higher, while the cost of steel grating is lower. Because FRP grating is made of resin and glass fiber composite, the cost is slightly higher than that of ordinary steel grid, so customers should carefully consider according to the actual situation when selecting the type.

Installation cost:

FRP grating saves a lot more than steel grating. Although the cost of FRP grating is high, the cutting device is simple, does not require hot fire and large lifting equipment, and only requires a small amount of labor and electric tools, which greatly reduces the cost of installation.

Protection cost:

FRP grating requires almost no protection and has a long service life; steel grating needs long-term protection.

Corrosion resistance:

The corrosion resistance of FRP grating is very good, while the corrosion resistance of steel grating is relatively low. FRP molded grating has incomparable advantages in the field of anti-corrosion in terms of corrosion resistance to various gas-liquid media such as acids, alkalis, organic solvents and salts. Unlike traditional metal grilles, it will not rust due to electrochemical corrosion under the action of chemical media, nor will it damage the data structure. It does not need regular or irregular inspection and protection. It is compatible with wood and other materials. Different, there will be rot, mildew and other phenomena, it is a new type of material for traditional iron, wood, cement and other materials. Due to its corrosion resistance, FRP grating has a wide range of applications.
