Approval of an American National Standard requires verification by ANSI that the requirements for due process,
consensus, and other criteria for approval have been met by the standards developer.
Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has
been reached by directly and materially affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple
majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that a
concerted effort be made toward their resolution.
The use of American National Standards is completely voluntary; their existence does not in any respect preclude
anyone, whether he has approved the standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products,
processes, or procedures not conforming to the standards.
The American National Standards Institute does not develop standards and will in no circumstances give an
interpretation of any American National Standard. Moreover, no person shall have the right or authority to issue an
interpretation of an American National Standard in the name of the American National Standards Institute. Requests
for interpretation should be addressed to the sponsor whose name appears on the title page of this standard.
CAUTION NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withdrawn at any time. The procedures of the
American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this
standard. Purchasers of American National Standards may receive current information on all standards by calling or
writing the American National Standards Institute.
This standard was developed by representative members of the Metal Bar Grating Division (MBG) of the National
Association of Architectural Metal Manufacturers (NAAMM) to provide their opinion and guidance on the specification
and use of metal bar gratings. This standard contains advisory information only and is published as a public service by

FOREWORD
The NAAMM Heavy Duty Metal Bar Grating Manual provides architects and engineers with
current technical data on heavy duty bar gratings of structural carbon steel and stainless
steel. The data includes descriptions of the most frequently used types of gratings, the
methods used in their fabrication, dimensional standards, load tables giving allowable
uniform and concentrated loads for spans from one foot (305 mm) through eight feet
(2440 mm), installation practices, specifications, code of standard practice and glossary.
The information is concerned primarily with bar gratings capable of supporting heavy
loads. Architects and engineers interested in lighter walkway gratings are referred to the
current edition of NAAMMs Metal Bar Grating Manual (ANSI/NAAMM MBG 531).
The first four editions of the manual have been widely used by the design professions. In
preparing this fifth edition, the Metal Bar Grating Division of NAAMM has reviewed its
contents in detail and has made revisions to reflect current practices. NAAMM believes that
the scope of this manual makes it an excellent reference source for those concerned with
the design of structures incorporating heavy duty metal bar gratings.
The load tables in this edition are based on the design formulas and procedures found in
MBG 534, Metal Bar Grating Engineering Design Manual, which was developed to provide
a clearer understanding of the procedures used in the design of grating.
Also included are metric equivalents as an aid to designers who must use the metric
system. The system of metric measurement used is from IEEE/ASTM SI 10-2002,
Standard for Use of the International System of Units (SI): the Modern Metric System.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.
This manual presents the common heavy duty gratings manufactured by NAAMM
members. NAAMM recognizes the many special designs that embody the use of special
steel shapes and/or larger structural members that are used under the same conditions.
Because these designs are so varied, they are not covered in this publication but can be
manufactured according to the principles within this manual. Consult the manufacturers of
these specialty items for technical information.
Changes from the prior version, ANSI/NAAMM MBG 532-00 are indicated by the
placement of a vertical line next to the changed item.

HEAVY DUTY METAL BAR GRATING
INTRODUCTION
Metal bar gratings, simply defined, are open grid assemblies of metal bars in which the
principal load bearing bars run parallel in one direction and are spaced equidistant from
each other, either by rigid attachment to cross bars running in a perpendicular direction,
or by attachment to reticuline bars extending between them.
There are three types of steel bar gratings welded, pressure-locked, and riveted. Welded
gratings are fabricated by joining bearing bars and cross bars at their intersections by
welding. In pressure-locked gratings the cross bars are mechanically locked to the bearing
bars by deforming the bars under tremendous hydraulic pressure. For riveted gratings the
reticuline bars are joined to the bearing bars at their points of contact by riveting.
Metal bar gratings of all three types provide economical structures with high strength-toweight ratios for use in many applications, a number of which are listed below. Relatively
unrestricted passage of water, light, air, and heat are some of the features which make
gratings not only desirable but essential in certain types of construction. Floor gratings
permit immediate drainage of water from rain or other sources. They also simplify the
ventilation and heating of certain types of industrial buildings.
Floor gratings are capable of supporting both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. Lighter weight
gratings are satisfactory for pedestrian traffic; but, where heavy loads, including vehicular
traffic, are involved, heavy duty metal bar gratings must be used. Heavy vehicular traffic is
encountered in industrial plants with their heavy load carrying lift trucks and on highways
and bridges with heavy trucks and tractor-trailers. The metal bar gratings described in this
manual are used for these heavy duty applications. The load tables presented are based
upon allowable stresses for static loads supplemented by vehicular load tables based upon
specific design criteria. The effects of impact and alternative design criteria shall be
considered when designing metal bar grating for vehicular traffic.
Metal bar grating for bridge decking has some very specific advantages. Because of its light
weight and simple installation, as compared with other surfaces, it permits resurfacing to
handle heavier loads without the need for expensive sub-structure work. An additional
advantage is that a municipality can carry a stock inventory of grating and replace a bridge
surface quickly and economically.
Different applications impose different requirements on gratings. It is important, therefore,
that the architect or engineer consult with the manufacturer in the selection of heavy duty
metal bar gratings. The members of NAAMM who fabricate such gratings have many years
of experience with many types of uses all over the country.

LOAD AND DEFLECTION TABLES FOR

WELDED AND RIVETED
HEAVY DUTY CARBON STEEL GRATINGS
The load and deflection tables on the following pages have been prepared to provide the designer with a convenient
reference for the load carrying capabilities of typical heavy duty grating constructions offered by NAAMM members.
Static Loads
Uniform loads and concentrated loads per foot of grating width are given on six inch increments for simple spans ranging
from one foot to eight feet. Metric tables provide loads per meter of grating width in 152.4 millimeters increments for spans
from 304.8 millimeters to 2438.4 millimeters. The values in these load tables are based on allowable stresses for static loads.
Vehicular Loads
Vehicular load tables are designed in accordance with the current standards of the American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) for H-15 through H-25 loads with deflection limited to the lesser of
.125 inches (3.175 mm) or L/400 to a maximum simple span of 8'- 0" (2,438mm). Automobile and forklift loads are
similarly evaluated with loads calculated and distributed in accordance with the criteria shown below. If the load
conditions of your application are not adequately addressed in the criteria presented, please contact NAAMM or any
manufacturer of heavy duty bar grating for assistance in determining the proper grating for your application.

Riveted Gratings
The vehicular load tables for riveted grating are computed using the same load distribution methods as welded grating.
Section properties for riveted gratings were developed using Parallel Axis Theorem for determining the centroid and I for
each bar size. In this calculation, the reticuline bars, which are riveted to the bearing bars, contribute to the longitudinal
strength of the grating, thereby increasing the load carrying capacity of the grating. Riveted products presented in this
catalog shall have a minimum 1-1/2" x 3/16" reticuline bar.
