Stainless Steel Grating

Stainless steel grating is selected for corrosive, clean, marine or washdown service where carbon steel coating is not enough. Buyers should confirm stainless grade, support span, bar size, surface type, finish and the real operating environment.

RFQ quick details





**Stainless grade**304, 316, 316L or project-specified grade should match the corrosive environment.



**Load and span**Support span and load condition decide bearing bar size, pitch and layout.



**Bar spacing**Bearing bar pitch and cross bar pitch should match load, drainage and cleaning needs.



**Surface type**Smooth or serrated surface can be reviewed by walking condition and slip risk.



**Finish and cleaning**Pickling, passivation or project-specified finish should be confirmed when required.

 

For faster quotation, send stainless grade, panel size, bearing bar size, spacing, support span, finish, quantity and drawings if available.

Product overview

## How to Specify Stainless Steel Grating for RFQs

Stainless steel grating should be specified by both structural data and corrosion environment. Grade selection, bar size, spacing, bearing direction, support span, surface type, fabrication details and finish requirement all affect quotation.

QY Metal Tech can review 304, 316 or 316L grade selection, smooth or serrated walking surface, cutouts, banding, pickling, passivation and export packing marks before production.

 



### RFQ Specification Checklist

 

| Grade and exposure | Confirm 304, 316, 316L or buyer-specified grade by chloride, marine, chemical, food-related or washdown exposure. |
|---|---|
| Load and support span | Share clear support span, load condition, bearing direction and panel layout before bar selection. |
| Bar size and spacing | Confirm bearing bar size, bearing bar pitch and cross bar pitch to match load and open-area needs. |
| Surface type | Choose smooth or serrated bearing bars by walking condition, cleaning process and slip risk. |
| Fabrication details | List cutouts, banding, toe plates, fixing clips, drain openings and panel marks on drawings. |
| Finish and inspection | Confirm pickling, passivation, weld cleaning, packing labels and any inspection document requirements. |

 

 





Standards reference

## Stainless Standards and Finish References

- Stainless grade should be confirmed by the real exposure, such as general washdown, chloride, marine, food-related or chemical service.
- 304, 316 or 316L material references, mill certificates and buyer project standards can be reviewed before production.
- Pickling, passivation or cleaning references such as ASTM A380 or ASTM A967 can be discussed when a defined stainless finish is required.
- Final specification should follow drawings, load notes, surface finish requirements, inspection documents and buyer approval.

 



Specification examples

## Common Stainless Grating RFQ Models

 

| SS304 G325 | 304 stainless grating for general washdown or clean access areas. |
|---|---|
| SS316 G325 | 316 stainless grating reviewed for chloride, marine or stronger corrosive exposure. |
| 316L washdown panel | Low-carbon stainless option when welding and corrosion sensitivity are specified. |
| Pickled/passivated | Surface finish reviewed by cleanliness, corrosion requirement and buyer documents. |

Use these expressions as RFQ shorthand, then confirm final grade, panel dimensions, load, finish and drawings before production.

 

 

 

 



Applications

## Common Applications for Stainless Steel Grating

Stainless grating is used where corrosion, cleaning, washdown or hygiene requirements make coated carbon steel unsuitable. These examples show typical buyer use cases and RFQ details to confirm.







### Corrosive and washdown areas

Used for chemical plants, wet rooms, food-related areas or clean service where coated carbon steel is not enough.









### Stainless access platforms

Panels can be supplied by drawing with confirmed grade, bearing direction, bar spacing, finish and fabrication details.









### Surface and packing review

Before shipment, buyers can check grade, dimensions, welds, surface condition, panel marks and packing labels.

FAQ

## Stainless Steel Grating buyer questions

 

When should I choose stainless instead of galvanized grating?

When the area is corrosive, washed down, marine, food-related or must stay clean, and painted or galvanized carbon steel would not last.



304, 316 or 316L: which grade do I need?

304 is common for general wet or clean areas. 316 or 316L is chosen for chlorides, marine air, chemicals or corrosion-sensitive welded service.



Is pickling or passivation needed?

It depends on the required finish. Pickling removes high-temperature scale and the affected surface layer; passivation targets surface contamination and supports passive-film formation. They are different treatments: do not assume that passivation alone removes weld heat tint or scale.

Agree the treatment, treated areas, applicable standard and edition, and acceptance records before ordering. ASTM A380/A380M-25 covers cleaning, descaling, pickling and passivation; ASTM A967/A967M-25 covers chemical passivation. See [ASSDA’s process explanation (English)](https://www.assda.asn.au/stainless-steel/surface-finishes/pickling-and-passivation).



Can you provide mill certificates?

Material references and mill certificates for 304, 316 or 316L can be reviewed before production. State the documents you need in your RFQ.



Can stainless grating be serrated?

Yes. Serrated stainless bearing bars can be supplied for wet, oily or outdoor walking areas.



Have you supplied stainless steel grating projects?

Yes. One example is 1,200 m² of stainless steel grating supplied for a project in Thailand.

## Factory verification and order terms





### Video factory visits by appointment

Video factory visits can be arranged in advance. Contact our sales team to agree a time, platform and accessible production, inspection or packing areas. Other customers’ information and confidential areas are not shown.





### Lead time: usually 30 days ex-works

For regular orders, production usually takes 30 days ex-works, counted from receipt of the deposit and approval of the drawings. Larger or special orders, and stock availability, are confirmed in the written quotation. Production and transport times are stated separately in the quotation or contract.





### Written quotation and delivery terms

Trade terms are agreed for each order and logistics arrangement. The written quotation specifies the applicable Incoterms® 2020 rule, named delivery place or port of shipment, and whether freight, insurance and taxes are included. For containers handed to a carrier before vessel loading, FCA is considered rather than automatically using FOB.





### Quality concerns and corrective action

Please provide the order number, affected quantity, photos or video, and relevant measurements or inspection records when reporting a quality concern. If responsibility is confirmed to lie with us, a remedy such as repair, additional supply, replacement, refund or price adjustment is agreed under the contract. Costs and the action plan are confirmed in writing; no unconditional return or fixed resolution period is promised.
