Steel Grating

19-W-4 steel grating describes a common welded grating pattern with bearing bars at 1-3/16 inch (19/16 inch) centers and cross bars at 4 inch centers. Buyers still need to confirm bearing bar size, support span, load condition, finish and fabrication details before quotation.

### 19-W-4 Steel Grating specification path

 

| Pattern | 19-W-4 welded grating has bearing bars at 1-3/16 inch (19/16 inch) centers and cross bars at 4 inch centers. |
|---|---|
| Bearing bar size | Bar height and thickness decide load capacity together with clear support span. |
| Support span | Span, bearing direction and load condition must be confirmed before bar selection. |
| Surface | Smooth or serrated bearing bars can be reviewed by walking condition. |
| Finish | Hot-dip galvanized, painted, mill finish or stainless option depends on project environment. |
| Fabrication | Cutouts, banding, toe plates, clips and panel marks should follow drawings. |

 

 





Standards reference

## Standards and finish references can be reviewed by project requirement

- Steel grating can be reviewed according to drawings and standards such as YB/T 4001.1, ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531 or BS 4592 when required.
- Hot-dip galvanizing can be specified according to ISO 1461 or ASTM A123/A123M when a defined zinc coating reference is needed.
- Platform, stair and access projects may refer to ISO 14122 or local safety requirements for walking surfaces and guardrail interfaces.
- Final specification should follow project drawings, load notes, local codes and buyer approval documents.

 



Specification examples

## Common 19-W-4 Steel Grating model expressions

 

| 19-W-4 pattern | Welded bar grating with bearing bars at 1-3/16 inch (19/16 inch) centers and cross bars at 4 inch centers. |
|---|---|
| 1 x 3/16 inch bar | Common light to medium duty bearing bar expression, still checked by span. |
| 1-1/4 x 3/16 inch bar | Deeper bearing bar option reviewed for longer support span. |
| HDG 19-W-4 panel | Hot-dip galvanized 19-W-4 panels for outdoor platforms or drainage covers. |

Use these examples as RFQ shorthand, then confirm final dimensions, load, material, finish and drawings before production.

### Factory inspection

Pattern, dimensions, finish and panel marks can be checked before shipment.







 

 

 

## Steel grating technical references

Use the load tables with their stated standard editions and design assumptions. The separate 11-W-4 specification describes a different bearing-bar spacing from 19-W-4 and is not an interchangeable load rating. Confirm the required specification and project loads with the quotation.

### Technical checks before quotation

- Confirm bearing-bar center distance, cross-bar type and panel dimensions.
- Select the load-table row from clear span, support condition, load direction and deflection limit.
- Confirm material and finish, including galvanized, painted or stainless requirements.

FAQ

## 19-W-4 Steel Grating buyer questions

 

What does 19-W-4 mean?

It is a welded grating pattern with bearing bars at 1-3/16 in (about 30 mm) centers and cross bars at 4 in (about 102 mm) centers. Bearing bar depth and thickness are specified separately.



How far can 19-W-4 grating span for pedestrian use?

For a 100 psf (4.8 kPa) uniform load with 1/4 in (6.4 mm) deflection (ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531 method): 1 × 3/16 in bars 4′-9″ (1450 mm), 1-1/4 × 3/16 in 5′-7″ (1710 mm), 1-1/2 × 3/16 in 6′-5″ (1960 mm) and 2 × 3/16 in 7′-11″ (2430 mm).



Is 19-W-4 the same as 11-W-4?

No. 11-W-4 has bearing bars at 11/16 in centers, a much closer spacing. The two patterns cannot be substituted for each other, so keep the exact pattern on your approved drawing.



Can a metric grating replace 19-W-4?

A metric pitch that looks close is not proof of equivalence. If you consider a metric alternative, confirm bar size, pitch, span and load with your engineer before approving it.



Can 19-W-4 grating be galvanized or serrated?

Yes. Hot-dip galvanized 19-W-4 is common for outdoor platforms and drainage areas, and serrated bearing bars can be supplied for wet or oily walking surfaces.



Can 19-W-4 panels be made to my drawings?

Yes. Panel sizes, cutouts, banding, toe plates, fixing clips and panel marks follow your project drawings.

Reference scope for 19-W-4

## 19-W-4 is not the same reference as 11-W-4

Keep the imperial pattern on the approved drawing when using this product page. The linked English three-part specification identifies itself as **11-W-4**, document QY-SG-3PS-11W4-01, Rev. 1.0, 24 Jul 2026; it is a guide for comparison, not a 19-W-4 dimensional or capacity schedule.



| Reference | What must remain distinct |
|---|---|
| 19-W-4 product pattern | Bearing bars at 1-3/16 in (19/16 in) centers and cross bars at 4 in centers, with the bearing-bar depth, thickness, surface and material confirmed for the project. |
| 11-W-4 guide | The guide’s table on page 3 states 11/16 in bearing-bar centers and 4 in cross-bar centers. Its stated 3/16 in nominal bearing-bar thickness is a project-confirmation item, not an automatic requirement for a 19-W-4 order. |
| Metric load-table extract | The separately linked YB/T 4001.1-2007 extract lists metric bearing-bar families. A nearby metric pitch or nominal-width row is not evidence of imperial-pattern equivalence. |
| Load and support review | Match the actual clear span, bearing direction, supports, uniform/line/point or wheel load, loaded area and deflection limit. Keep the website’s calculated screening values separate from the historical downloadable extract. |



Before quotation, send the drawing number and revision, exact pattern, bearing-bar depth and thickness, panel size, openings and banding, support/bearing details, finish, clips and quantity. Do not substitute the 11-W-4 guide’s geometry or a metric table value into a 19-W-4 design.









Quick span guide

## Maximum pedestrian span by bearing bar (19-W-4)

Longest span for a 100 psf (4.8 kPa) uniform load with 1/4 in (6.4 mm) deflection, calculated with the ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531 method.



| Bearing bar (in / mm) | mm | Max. pedestrian span |
|---|---|---|
| 3/4 × 1/8 in | 19 × 3.2 mm | **3'-6"** (1050 mm) |
| 1 × 1/8 in | 25 × 3.2 mm | **4'-3"** (1310 mm) |
| 1 × 3/16 in | 25 × 4.8 mm | **4'-9"** (1450 mm) |
| 1-1/4 × 3/16 in | 32 × 4.8 mm | **5'-7"** (1710 mm) |
| 1-1/2 × 3/16 in | 38 × 4.8 mm | **6'-5"** (1960 mm) |
| 2 × 3/16 in | 51 × 4.8 mm | **8'-0"** (2430 mm) |
