Stainless steel tear plates

DESCRIPTION

Tear plate ASTM

Tear plate DIN

Stainless steel tear plate (1M finish according to standard EN 10088-2) is an excellent solution in terms of safety, hygiene and corrosion resistance.

The safety element is guaranteed by the presence of the tear pattern over at least 20% of the surface area of a DIN tear plate and 30% of an ASTM tear plate. These confer non-skid properties to the plate, which can be measured by means of tests in accordance with DIN 51130 and DIN 51097 or ASTM 1028 standards.

In hygiene-critical environments, the ease of cleaning and biological inertness make stainless steels indispensable. The corrosion resistance of stainless steels makes the use of clad metals, potentially unsuited to environmental protection, obsolete, favouring the use of stainless steel tear plate in harsh environments.

These three principal properties explain why stainless steel tear plate is to be found in applications such as flooring or pathways in food processing plants. Other applications are to be found in the transport sector (notably weighbridge  and catwalks on lorries).

With regard to more traditional sectors, like the chemical and oil industries, stainless steel tear plates are common. Building and construction are also environments in which this product naturally finds applications.
