Theoretical weights
Approximate reference weights per square meter (typical, confirmed per project)
Theoretical weights are calculated references for typical thickness and pattern. Applicable standards (GB/T 33974, ASTM A786/A786M, DIN 59220) and tolerances are confirmed per project and producing factory. Material documentation (such as mill test reports) on request, depends on product and producing factory.
Applicable standards
Listed as reference standards only, never certificates held by MutualMetal. The applicable standard, material grade, and documentation are confirmed per product and project.
Five-bar is a rolled pattern whose designation and weight tables differ between GB/T 33974, ASTM A786, and DIN 59220; applicable standard, pattern dimensions, and base plate tolerances are confirmed per project.
Product standards
- GB/T 33974Hot-rolled checkered steel plate and strip
- ASTM A786/A786MRolled steel floor plates
- ASTM B632/B632MAluminum-alloy rolled tread plate
No direct product standard in this series; floor plate patterns and materials reference ASTM standards (e.g. ASTM A786), with walking surface safety referencing ANSI/ASSP A1264.2.
No dedicated ISO checkered plate product standard; ISO 14122-2 applies as an application safety reference for walkway surfaces.
