Ductile Cast Iron Round Drainage Grate

Why Choose Our Ductile Iron Grate?

"Not all cast iron is ductile iron!"

Compared to brittle gray iron grates or aging-prone composite plastic grates, QT500-7 ductile iron delivers a revolutionary leap in compressive strength, impact resistance, and durability—with 40% lower lifecycle costs—thanks to its balanced strength and flexibility.

I. Technical Features

1. Material & Process

- Ductile Iron Substrate:

Magnesium/rare-earth spheroidization ensures spheroidal graphite distribution.
Tensile strength ≥420 MPa, elongation ≥10%, impact toughness ≥12 J/cm² (far exceeding gray iron).
Density: 7.3 g/cm³ (non-recyclable, inherently theft-resistant).

Anti-Corrosion Process:

Triple protection: Zinc spray (≥80 μm) + asphalt coating + epoxy pore sealing.
Salt spray resistance ≥2,000 hours (ASTM B117), pH 4–12 compatibility.

2. Hydrodynamic Structural Design

Swirl-Type Grate Bars: Radially arranged curved bars (gaps ≤15 mm) concentrate water flow toward the center, boosting drainage efficiency by 40% (flow rate ≥45 L/s·m²).
Anti-Clogging Optimization: Gradual slot spacing (8 mm edges → 15 mm center) traps large debris while minimizing blockages.
Self-Cleaning Slope: Micro-inclined surface (0.5°–1°) enables rainwater to flush away silt, extending maintenance intervals by 50%.

II. Core Advantages & Highlights

① Ultra-Strong Load Capacity & Safety

Material: QT500-7 ductile iron, tensile strength ≥500 MPa, elongation ≥7%, superior impact toughness.
Load Rating: GB D400 grade (40-ton load), passes heavy-vehicle rolling tests.
Structure: Reinforced rib grid + anti-slip textures (serrated/ripple patterns), wet friction coefficient >0.8.

② High-Efficiency Drainage

Open area ≥23%: Optimized hole distribution prevents surface ponding.
Slot gaps ≤25 mm: Effectively intercepts debris, simplifying maintenance.

③ Long-Term Corrosion Resistance

Coating: Hot-dip galvanizing (≥80 μm) + asphalt coating.
Weather resistance: Stable from -30°C to +150°C; >1,000-hour salt spray test.
Design lifespan: ≥30 years (normal conditions).

④ Safety & Ergonomics

Anti-drop structure: Optional 304 stainless steel mesh (load ≥100 kg).
Anti-theft locking: Concealed hinges/bolt locks deter 80% of theft attempts.
Noise reduction: Rubber gaskets eliminate vehicle impact noise.

III. Applications

Municipal Works: Urban roads, bike lanes, greenbelt drainage.
Public Facilities: Airports, ports, railway stations, large plazas.
Residential/Commercial: Community roads, garage entrances, landscaped walkways.
Industrial Zones: Logistics parks, factory roads, warehouses.

IV. Standards & Certifications

International: EN124 D400 (load), ISO1083 (material).

China:

GB/T 23858-2009 Manhole Covers.
CJ/T 327-2010 Reclaimed Water Grates.

Certifications:

SGS salt spray test report (>3,000 hours).
Recommended by China Municipal Engineering Association.
