Grating platform

Included under structures are many ancillary items such as ladders, grating, platforms, guard rails, and support structures. The general practice has been to use steel, galvanized iron, and aluminum for these applications. Corrosion of these items has always been a problem and has resulted in high maintenance costs. 

A grating platform is depicted in Exhibit 12-5. When this type of platform is used, the platform top-of-steel elevation does not include the thickness of the grating. Moderate pipe support loads can be imposed on this design holes for piping should be banded for reinforcement. A deck plate platform is shown in Exhibit 12-6. This commonly used form of decking is V4 in (10 mm) thick. 

The affinity (interaction strength), multiple interactions, and the changes in concentration can be also monitored from those studies. To deliver data in real time, the natural phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is employed. Since the refractive index (r ) at the interface changes as molecules are immobilized on the sensor surface, instant measure of r provides real-time assessment. The Tlcxchip platform exploits grating-coupled SPR (GC-SPR) for this purpose.

Stress/deflection of floor plate or grating Allowable live load affects springiness of platforms. Use Tables 6-3 and 6-4 and assume allowable live load of 150-200 psf. 

Associated with any composite grating system is a hand rail and stairwell to go with it. These are made from suitably designed pultruded profiles. Such systems find favour where sound floorings and escape ways are essential. The electrochemical industry has long been a user of the systems and now we see more and more of their use on off-shore oil platforms.

Provision of anti-skid grating for work platforms can improve operator moral, and they become more attentive to process units.
