Type “DTG” -Steel Dove TailProduct Specification Guide
Type "DT" steel gratings have deep rectangular cross bars and aremanufactured by inserting pre-punched bearing bars and cross bars into an“egg-crate” configuration and deforming the cross bars under intense hydraulicpressure. The deep cross bars on type "DT" gratings make them popular forarchitectural applications such as sun shades and infill panels with the deepercross bar serving as a distinct architectural accent.
Pressure Locked Gratings manufactured with deep rectangular cross bars areidentified as dovetail pressure. These products are assembled bypre-punching both thebearing bars and crossbars, aligning the bars inan egg-crate manner, anddeforming the cross barinto the dovetail slot in thebearing bar under intensehydraulic pressure.
Traditionally designed, Dove Tail slotpressure locked grating offers the highstrength and stiffness of welded grating,along with the smooth, clean lines of aflush top rectangular cross bar. Bearingbars and cross bars are precision slotted,assembled in egg-crate fashion andhydraulically pressed together to form atightly locked, rigidly stable panel grid.
This grating is available in awide variety of spacingincluding a 1/4" or 1/2" openingproduct. These products arepart of our Grater Access lineand are available with crossbars on 2" or 4" centers.
This is also a popular style inthe architectural communitybecause of the aesthetic eyeappeal of the product and theability to maintain tightertolerances. This style is alsoavailable in stainless steel. Slip resistant surfaces are available upon request.
Type "SG" Swage Locked Steel GratingType "SG" steel gratings are manufactured by inserting hollow tube cross barsinto pre-punched holes in the bearing bars and swaging the cross bars forminga positive mechanical connection. The cross bars are recessed below the topsurface of the bearing bars providing a uniform and attractive architecturalappearance. Swage locking is a particularly efficient process for the productionof close mesh gratings. Type SG 7-4 with 3/16" thick bearing bars provides anet 1/4" clear opening between the bearing bars. This narrow opening is oftenpreferred in public areas where concerns of drainage and the presence of highheeled shoes converge.
Pressure Locked Gratings manufactured by swaging are designated by theprofile "PS." These productsare assembled by insertinghollow tube cross bars intopre-punched holes in thebearing bars and thenswaging the cross bars(similar to the aluminumgratings). This permanentlylocks the entire crossbar/bearing barintersection withinthe interior of thebearing bar.
The swaging process allows theassembly of bar grating panels bymechanically locking the cross barsat right angles to the bearing bars.It provides the clean crisp line of arecessed cross bar and eliminatesthe jagged weld flash inherent withwelded bar grating.Additionally, the heat generated aspart of the electro-forging process,limits how close together the bars may be placed.By using the most modern technology available, swaged bar grating isavailable in a wide variety of spacing including a 1/4" or 1/2" opening product.Because of its aesthetic appeal and the ability to meet tight tolerances, this
product is often used forarchitectural applications.Slip resistance surfaces areavailable upon request.

Type "WS" welded stainless steel gratingsare manufactured by forge welding
rectangular bearing bars and drawn crossbars. This welding process provides apositive fused connection providing years ofservice under the most demandingconditions.
Stainless Steel Grating is manufacturedfrom alloy types 304, 304L, 316 and 316L.When caustic atmospheres are encountered,or when corrosion resistance and/orminimum carbide precipitation are essentialconsiderations, stainless steel grating is theanswer.
The longer lasting capabilities of stainlesssteel under these special conditions make itan economical selection over the long term.
It is ideal for use in food processing areas,breweries, bottling plants, dairies and meatpacking plants. Stainless steel can also beused in power plants, sewage treatmentplants, pumping stations and hydrocarbonprocessing facilities where various causticenvironments are normal. It also hasapplication in shipboard and buildingindustries where saline solutions oratmospheres are present.
The swaging process allows the assemblyof bar grating panels by mechanicallylocking the cross bars at right angles tothe bearing bars at a maximum of 4” oncenter. This process provides the cleancrisp lines of a recessed cross bar andeliminates the discoloration inherent with
welded bar grating. As with swagedcarbon, this product is manufactured freeof the warping, twisting and burn marks,which are characteristic of electro forgewelded stainless steel grating. Additionally,the heat generated as part of that process,limits how close together the bars may beplaced.
Stainless steel grating has been thestandard industrial footwalk product forsevere corrosive environments and hasbeen a popular grating choice for manyyears.
HY manufactures stainless swaged bargrating from type 304 stainless steel bar.Type 316 is also available (limited stock)along with other special alloys by specialorder.
Special finishes are available dependingon the requirements set forth by thearchitect. Stainless steel grating is used atchemical plants, food processing facilities,oil and gas producers, metal and miningfacilities, pulp and paper plants and is alsoused in many other commercial andarchitectural applications.
