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.
  • Example Order: "Hot Rolled Diamond Plate, 1/4" ? 48" ? 96", ASTM A786"

Measurement Tip: Thickness is measured at the base material, not including the raised pattern height. Standard tolerance for cut pieces: 1/8" for dimensions under 10 feet.
