How to Measure & Specify
To specify Diamond Plate:
- Thickness: Specify in gauge or decimal inches (e.g., 1/4" or 10 ga).
- Dimensions: Provide width ? length (e.g., 48" ? 96").
- Quantity: Number of sheets or total square feet.
- Grade: Typically ASTM A786 or A36.
- Pattern Orientation: Specify if pattern direction is critical for your application.
