Product Description
A 6 mm Mild Steel (MS) Chequered Plate is a durable and highly versatile steel plate featuring a raised pattern, typically used in industrial and commercial applications. It provides excellent anti-slip properties, making it ideal for flooring, platforms, and other high-traffic areas.
Key Features:
-
Anti-Slip Surface:
- The raised pattern or "chequer" design ensures a non-slip surface, providing added safety in industrial environments and high-traffic areas.
-
High Strength:
- Made from mild steel, which is known for its combination of strength, durability, and ease of fabrication.
-
Corrosion Resistance:
- While MS plates are not inherently corrosion-resistant, they can be galvanized or painted for added protection against rust and weathering.
-
Versatile and Cost-Effective:
- Economical and highly adaptable for various structural and flooring applications.
-
Easy to Work With:
- Can be welded, cut, and formed into various shapes to suit specific project needs.
Applications:
-
Flooring:
- Commonly used in industrial plants, warehouses, and factory floors due to its slip-resistant nature.
-
Platforms and Walkways:
- Ideal for outdoor walkways and platforms where safety and slip resistance are important.
-
Truck Beds and Trailers:
- Used in vehicle bodies and trailers for load-bearing surfaces.
-
Ramps:
- Suitable for ramps in commercial or industrial settings to prevent slipping and provide a stable walking surface.
-
Construction and Engineering:
- Used in various structural applications, including staircases, scaffoldings, and storage shelves.
Specifications:
-
Thickness: 6 mm
-
Standard Sizes:
- 6 mm thick chequered plates are typically available in widths of 1000 mm to 1500 mm and lengths ranging from 2000 mm to 3000 mm or more. Custom sizes can be ordered as per requirements.
-
Material Grade:
- Typically made from IS 2062 or ASTM A36 Mild Steel, which is suitable for structural applications.
Benefits:
-
Safety:
- The chequered pattern significantly reduces the risk of slipping, especially in wet or oily environments.
-
Cost-Effective:
- Mild steel offers a balance of affordability and performance, making it an ideal choice for large-scale projects.
-
Durability:
- Can withstand significant wear and tear, making it suitable for high-traffic and heavy-duty applications.
-
Aesthetic Appeal:
- Available in different finishes (e.g., hot-dipped galvanized, powder-coated) to match the aesthetic requirements of the application.
Considerations for Use:
-
Corrosion Protection:
- If used outdoors or in corrosive environments, consider applying a protective coating (e.g., galvanization) to prolong the lifespan of the plate.
-
Weight:
- 6 mm thick plates may be heavier compared to thinner versions, so ensure adequate support and handling during installation.
