BSI 2006 1BS 4592-4:20061 ScopeThis part of BS 4592 specifies requirements for the design, manufacture, supply and installation of glass reinforced plastics (GRP) open bar gratings intended for use in industrial flooring, walkways and stair treads.It is
16、 not applicable where access to machinery is required, in which case the requirements of BS EN ISO 14122 apply.NOTE For the common requirements for industrial type flooring and stair treads, see BS 4592-0.In addition to the definitive requirements, this standard also requires the items detailed in B
17、S 4592-0:2006, Clause 4 to be documented. For compliance with this standard, both the definitive requirements and the documented items have to be satisfied.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

NOTE 1 For additional protection, surfaces that are subject
26、to abrasion in service should have a quartz grit applied, bonded on with an epoxy resin adhesive.NOTE 2 The glass fibre might include continuous strand mat reinforcing, and only those additives (stabilizers, fillers, etc.) that are necessary to enable conformance to the requirements of this standard
27、 should be used in the resin mix.NOTE 3 A post-manufacture protective surface coat can also be applied, if required, to enhance ultraviolet degradation resistance.5.3 All cut ends shall be sealed with a suitable resin after cutting.6 Size requirementsThe sizes of bearing bars, binding bars and trans
28、verse bars (subject to the tolerances permitted in the appropriate material standard), shall be such that it can be demonstrated by calculation or test, that they meet the appropriate design criteria specified in BS 4592-0 and are fit for the relevant design load, as specified in BS 4592-0:2006, Tab

32、592-0 and is fit for the relevant design load, as specified in BS 4592-0:2006, Table 1.NOTE Gratings can be provided with a solid GRP plate bonded to the top surface during manufacture, in order to cover any opening in the top surface that would permit the passage of smaller objects. This would also
33、 increase the strength of the floor and provide a more suitable surface for the passage of small solid wheeled trolleys when required.7 Tolerance requirements7.1 The maximum permissible tolerances from finished sizes of glass reinforced plastics (GRP) open bar gratings shall be as shown in Table 1.T

Binding bars shall be attached by bonding, or bonding and pinning.8.2 Binding barsBinding bars shall be attached to bearing bars
37、where:a) panels have less than two transverse bars;b) the starting edge of a panel is more than 150 mm from the transverse bar.8.3 Supports for stair treads Tread supports, clipped securely to the stair treads, shall be bolted to the stair strings.

43、reinforced plastics (GRP) open bar gratings. When fitted, toe plates shall be formed from channel, angle or flat sections (see Figure 3) or suitable profiles.NOTE 1 Channel sections can be used where toe plates are attached to the guard rail posts. Where this is possible, it is the preferred method,
44、 as it does not rely on the adhesive bond to a bearing bar.NOTE 2 Angle sections are preferred to flat sections. Flat sections, however, can be used around multi-sided openings (see Figure 1) as curved toe plates of the same material as the bearing bars are generally unavailable. 8.5 Cut-outsWhere a
45、 cut-out is required in a glass reinforced plastics (GRP) open bar grating, it shall be shaped to reduce the necessity for binding bars or toe plates.NOTE 1 Additional supports around the cut-out might be required to satisfy the design criteria.NOTE 2 The rigidity of the panel can be maintained by j

Where a cut-out is required, the remaining area of the grating shall be able to carry the same lo
48、ad.The positions of concentrated loads during testing shall be either those that produce the maximum stresses or, where deflection is the design criterion, those that produce maximum deflection.9.2 Flooring and walkwaysWhen tested in accordance with BS 4592-0:2006, Annex A, the flooring or walkway s
