A 3/8-inch aluminum diamond plate, also known as aluminum tread plate or checker plate, is a thick, durable sheet of aluminum characterized by its raised diamond pattern on the surface. This type of aluminum plate is renowned for its strength, lightweight properties, and slip-resistant surface.
3 8 aluminum diamond plate specifications
- Thickness: The plate has a thickness of 3/8 inch (approximately 9.53 mm). This thickness provides significant structural strength and durability, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Common Sheet Sizes: Aluminum diamond plates are available in various sheet sizes, such as 4x8 feet, but can also be custom cut to specific dimensions as needed.
How much does 3 8 diamond plate weigh?
The weight of a 3/8-inch aluminum diamond plate can be calculated based on its size and density, approximately 0.0975 pounds per cubic inch (2.7 grams per cubic centimeter). For example, a 4x8-foot sheet weighs about 100 pounds (45 kilograms) or more, depending on the specific dimensions.
3 8 Aluminum Diamond Plate Surface Treatment
Surface Treatment: The surface can have various finishes, including smooth, brushed, or polished. Anodizing can be used to enhance corrosion resistance and improve aesthetics.
3 8 aluminum diamond plate material
3003 3/8" aluminum diamond plate
3003 is a manganese-containing alloy with relatively low strength, commonly used for decorative purposes and applications requiring moderate strength, such as trailers and walkways.
4017 3/8" aluminum diamond plate
4017 has higher strength than 3003, with improved strength and formability, making it suitable for moderate load-bearing applications.
6061 3/8" aluminum diamond plate
6061 is a high-strength alloy, best suited for high-strength requirements and structural applications.
Advantages of 3 8 Aluminum Diamond Plate
- High Strength: The 3/8-inch thickness provides excellent load-bearing capacity, suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Corrosion Resistance: Aluminum is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, ensuring longevity even in harsh environments.
- Lightweight: Despite its high strength, aluminum is much lighter than steel, making it easier to handle and install.
- Slip Resistance: The diamond pattern offers excellent traction, reducing the risk of slips and falls.
Applications of 3 8 Aluminum Diamond Plate Material
- Industrial Uses: Commonly used in construction, automotive, marine, and aerospace applications for flooring, ramps, truck beds, and protective surfaces. Its durability makes it ideal for high-traffic areas.
- Commercial Uses: Suitable for commercial environments where slip resistance and durability are important, such as warehouses, factories, and retail spaces.
- Decorative Applications: Can also be used for custom fabrication projects, decorative walls, furniture, and other design elements requiring a modern industrial look.
