5.1 APPLICATION
Fire-integrity pultruded fibre-reinforced floor grating may be used for the following applications:
• All internal platforms that are solely used for elevated access to equipment, valves,
etc., and which are not for heavy maintenance or handling use
• Deck areas in utility modules, particularly those in water treatment modules subject to
heavy external condensation in warm environments, but excluding areas which are for
heavy maintenance or handling use
• Inspection access ways within crude oil tanks and ballast tanks of an FPSO or FPU.
Steel flooring systems shall be used in the following applications:
• All areas which are for heavy maintenance or handling use (such areas include all
unobstructed open deck areas which are accessible to crane use, or which are served
by overhead runway beams or similar handling facilities)
• All lower deck areas of process modules (used for fired heaters, separation,
compression, produced water treatment, etc.)
• All floors requiring a plate surface for protection against fire or to retain fluids
• All parts of flare towers, and adjacent structure influenced by flare radiation.
Within any given area of deck grating, the selected grating shall be uniformly steel or FRP.
FRP grating is not permitted within accommodations, service or control spaces.
For other applications, the CONTRACTOR may select either steel or fire-integrity pultruded
fibre-reinforced floor grating, subject to prior approval by COMPANY.
The manufacturer shall supply data demonstrating that the proposed product satisfies each of
the general performance requirements which are set out in the following paragraphs. If the
manufacturer has obtained Type Approval certificates by an accepted Classifying Society
these certificates may be submitted to document performance of the product.
The bearing bar composite shall be manufactured by the pultrusion process using phenolic
resin, and continuous glass fibres wrapped by a continuous strand glass mat. Panels shall be
assembled into the sizes ordered using pultruded phenolic transverse bars. The transverse
bars shall be configured so that they are fixed at each point of intersection or contact wit the
load- bearing bars by means of a suitable resin adhesive so as to provide lateral restraint to
the load- bearing bars. The transverse bars shall be spaced at no more than 150 mm on
centre in the panel.
Channel section binding bars shall be adhesively bonded at panel edges where the
unsupported starting edge dimension to the first transverse bar is greater than 75 mm (or less
if required to achieve the manufacturer’s performance guarantee).
Stair treads and the edging of deck grating at the top of stairs and other step-off points shall
be fitted with a slip-resistant nosing bar of a pattern to be approved by COMPANY.
The grating will be exposed to direct sunlight in an offshore salt-laden atmosphere in a tropical
location. The design operating life of the grating panels shall be the platform operating life,
20 years.
Load and deflection criteria shall be achieved on the basis that support structure will
be provided with a span not exceeding 1050 mm between web centres.
For deck areas where FRP grating is permitted the minimum design uniform load for the
grating is 7.5 kN/m2. It is to be noted that this loading requirement has been set at a higher
level than specified for steel flooring in order to extend the load-bearing capacity in the event
of accidental conditions. The underlying steel structure for such deck areas shall be
designed for a uniform loading of 5 kN/m2 in accordance with PEGS-0710-OSS-017 (TBA).
FRP grating shall be designed with the above blanket live loads. An additional point load of
5 kN distributed on a 0.3 m by 0.3 m area shall be also considered.
For walkways (which do not form part of a larger deck area), gangways, stairways, access
and inspection platforms on equipment the design uniform load for the FRP grating is 2.5
kN/m2.
For stair treads, the design loads shall be 5 kN/m2 applied over the whole area of the
tread. Treads must be adequately stiffened under the nosings to carry a point load of not
less than 1.5 kN over an area of 150 x 150 mm located at the most onerous position.
The grating shall have sufficient flexural stiffness to limit the mid-span deflection to no
more than 6 mm for the specified loads and support span.
The ultimate flexural strength for qualified grating products shall be five (5.0) times the
specified design loads, or greater. All testing of mechanical strength and deflection
characteristics shall be in compliance with ASTM D 256, ASTM D 638, ASTM D 695, ASTM
D 790 as applicable.
The manufacturer shall document that the pultruded bearing bars have sufficient strength
under local loading, particularly in respect to web-to-flange connection strength.
Manufacturer shall document compliance in accordance with the standard defined for
repeated wheel loading given by CEAC-GL-2003-0102 or a COMPANY-approved equivalent
standard:
• A 36” X 48” panel shall be supported on two steel beams with a minimum clear span
of 43”.
• A hard rubber wheel 6” in diameter by 2” wide shall be cycled over the panel on a 24”
long pass 20° from perpendicular to the bearing bars. The wheel load shall be 400
pounds and the loading shall be cycled for 1000 times. There shall be no splitting
of the top flange or the webs of the bearing bars resulting from the cyclic loading.
In addition, the residual flexural stiffness shall be 90% of the original flexural
stiffness, or greater.
The manufacturer shall document that the grating panels have an impact resistance as
measured by the impact test given by CEAC-GL-2003-0102 or a COMPANY-approved
equivalent standard:
• A 48” X 48” panel shall be supported on 2 steel beams with a minimum clear span of
43 inches and held down by clips, one at each corner. The panel shall be impacted
with a 10-inch flange weighing 152 pounds. The flange shall be dropped from a
height of 5.3 feet producing impact energy of 1100 joules (806 ft.-lbf.). The panel
shall then be impacted with a steel ball weighing 26 pounds dropped from a height of
5.6 feet producing impact energy of 200 joules (146 ft.-lbf.) The test assembly shall
incorporate a cylinder to guide the impact weight to the target. After the two impact
tests, the panel shall meet the design load deflection requirements.
A UV resistant coating shall be applied to all grating surfaces of phenolic pultruded grating.
The manufacturer shall provide data demonstrating the UV resistance of the proposed FRP
grating in accordance with ASTM D 2565.
Contractor shall identify to the manufacturer any chemicals used in production to which the
gratings may be exposed. To qualify for areas requiring chemical resistance, the manufacturer
shall supply data showing that the proposed grating is resistant to chemical attack when
subjected to spills, splashes or fumes of the specified chemicals.
All FRP grating shall be fire resistant phenolic type for use in fire integrity locations, and
shall meet Level 2 structural fire integrity requirements as defined in the US Coast Guard’s
requirements as stated in Policy File Memorandum 2-98, 9078, Enclosure (1), Paragraph
5.C.6, or shall comply with an equivalent standard to be accepted by COMPANY.
All FRP grating shall meet fire retardant characteristics as demonstrated by testing to
ASTM D 635 with a flame spread rating not exceeding 10 mm/min.
All FRP grating shall have low flame spread characteristics as demonstrated by testing
to ASTM E 84 with a flame spread rating not exceeding 10.
All FRP grating shall have low smoke characteristics as demonstrated by testing to
ASTM E 84 with smoke developed rating not to exceed 10.
The vendor shall provide USCG certificate of approval for the product. The vendor shall also
provide a test report from a third party laboratory demonstrating that the proposed grating
product meets Level 2 fire integrity requirements.
5.2.9 FIXINGS
All phenolic grating shall be attached to the supporting beams by means of marine grade
stainless steel clips profiled to suite the grating pattern. These clips shall be secured to the
supporting structure. A minimum number of four clips shall be provided for each panel, and
additional clips shall be provided for shaped gratings to prevent uplift under non-uniform load.
The minimum bearing length at support points shall be 25 mm, or more if required by the
manufacturer.
The manufacturer shall provide guidance on the detailing and cutting of penetrations, and
shall supply documentation to confirm that all characteristics required by this specification
are achieved when such penetrations exist. As a minimum, grating shall satisfy the
performance standard specified in this document when cut to accommodate a hole of 320
mm in diameter:
• At any location fully within a 1 m wide panel
• At any point in the span centred on the junction between two 1 m wide panels.
All cut ends shall be sealed with an appropriate resin after cutting.
Suitable trimmer steel shall be incorporated into the support structure to ensure that the
grating retains its load-bearing capacity where there are larger penetrations or a greater
number of penetrations than guaranteed within the manufacturer’s performance data.
Locking bars shall be bolted into position between adjacent grating panels to provide
continuity of transverse bars where these are needed to achieve grating capacity in the
case of penetrations close to a panel edge.
Penetrations for piping shall provide a nominal 50 mm clearance all round the pipe and
any insulation/coating. Penetrations for piping shall provide a similar clearance over the
dimensions of any flanges that are to be withdrawn through the grating for maintenance.
Piping penetrations shall be edged with marine grade stainless steel toe plates with collars
which enable them to be bolted into position.
Cut-outs for structural steelwork shall closely follow the profile of the steel leaving a
clearance of 10 mm. Where re-entrant form makes it not possible to achieve this clearance,
the edge of the grating shall be finished by means of a toe plate. Alternatively, such cut-outs
may be edged with a suitably shaped fire resistant, non-slip FRP plate bonded to the grating.
The FRP grating manufacturer shall be registered by an accredited agency as meeting the
requirements of ISO 9001. For the purpose of this specification, the manufacture of FRP
grating shall be considered a “Special Process” as defined in ISO 9001, Paragraph 4.9.
The supplier shall identify manufacturing processes and activities that affect component
performance and shall ensure that these processes and activities are adequately controlled in
accordance with ISO 9001, Paragraph 4.9. Critical processes or activities for which
procedures must be developed and maintained or where pre-qualifications are necessary,
shall include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Resin mixing
• Grating fabrication
The Manufacturer shall maintain a quality manual. The quality manual and all quality records
shall be made available to COMPANY inspectors upon request. It shall be the responsibility of
the Manufacturer to maintain copies of records, documents and procedures for a minimum of
two years from the date of product delivery. COMPANY reserves the right to witness any or all
tests, and shall be given sufficient advance notice of them.
Equipment used to inspect, test or examine shall be identified, controlled, calibrated and
adjusted at special intervals in accordance with the documented quality program, and
consistent with industry standards to maintain the accuracy required by this specification.
Quality control of the glass fibre - The certificates of origin of the glass fibres used in
fabrication, identified by batch number, must be presented to the COMPANY on request.
These documents must, in particular, state the results of the tensile tests called for in the
ASTM D 2343.
Checks of resin quality - at the time of acceptance of a batch of resin, the Manufacturer is
required to check the quality of the batch by carrying out the following tests on reactivity and
viscocity of the batch:
• The reactivity - measured in accordance with ASTM D 2471 - of the resin here means
the rate and intensity of curing under specified conditions. This test is important,
because the resin, most often delivered with its accelerator, may be altered if stored for
a too long time, especially if the storage temperature is high. The Manufacturer shall
assure that the storage time does not exceed approximately six months, and that the
temperature of the storage area is less than 20°C.
• The measurement of the viscosity of the resin and of the mix of resin plus hardener,
gives an idea of the application conditions that will result in proper impregnation of the
reinforcing materials. The frequency of the shop quality checks is variable; the
Manufacturer may test each batch or each drum in each batch. A certificate stating the
results of these checks shall be submitted to the COMPANY.
Lot Size - production lots for pultruded grating shall consist of a production run of bearing bars
from each production line, or the production accomplished in a time period of one week,
whichever is smaller. Multiple lots of bearing bars may be used in a given order for pultruded
grating.
Glass Content - The glass content (mass fraction expressed as percentage) of at least one
sample per production lot shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 2584. If the
measured glass content is not within 5% of the value in the manufacturer’s specification, the
lot shall be rejected or subject to retest.
Modulus of Elasticity - the modulus of elasticity shall be verified by testing the pultruded
bearing bars. One sample from each production line (die) shall be subjected to bending test
with vertical end supports and concentrated loading at the centre of the span. The resulting
deflection value must meet or exceed the manufacturer’s minimum standard value.
Each grating panel shall be visually inspected for compliance with the requirements stated in
Table 1, and either accepted, rejected, or repaired in accordance with these guidelines.
The maximum permissible deviations from work sizes of gratings shall be as follows:
• Length of grating +0 mm
− 5mm
• Width of grating +0 mm
- 5 mm
-0 mm
Flatness shall be measured with the panel resting on two end beams and comparing against a
straight gauge over each diagonal. Departure from the straight edge shall be no more than
3mm, and no single corner shall be more than 3mm off the supporting beams when the other
corners are in contact.
Chip Small piece broken from edge or If there are undamaged, fibres exposed Minor repair

5.4.5 RETEST
If any specimen fails to conform to any of the specified requirements, the production lot shall
be rejected. Nevertheless,
Manufacturer may elect to make retests on three additional replicate samples selected at
random from the same production lot.
If all the retest samples conform to the requirements then the remainder of the production lot
shall be accepted.
If any retest specimen fails to conform then the production lot shall be rejected without option
for further retest.
All grating panels shall be marked by the Manufacturer with the following information:
• Manufacturer’s name
• Panel size
Markings shall be applied by paint or ink stencil, sticker, or both. Markings shall be permanent,
shall not overlap, and shall be applied in such a manner as not to damage the product.
The Inspection Agency must also affix its mark on the parts it has inspected in conformity with
this specification and which it has accordingly accepted. An indelible "Rejected" mark must be
applied to defective parts.
FRP product is susceptible to mechanical damage from impact, sharp edges, or scratching.
Special consideration must therefore be given to protecting FRP grating during handling. All
personnel involved shall be trained in appropriate procedures for handling FRP products.
Lifting, loading, unloading, and shipping shall be performed in accordance with the
Manufacturer’s recommendations. FRP grating shall be shipped from the manufacturer in
bundles secured by banding, protected and secured to prevent damage in shipment.
All materials and equipment necessary for the on-site fabrication shall be stored before,
during, and after shipment in a manner to prevent cracking, twisting, bending, breaking,
chipping, or damage of any kind to the products or equipment.
5.7 DOCUMENTATION
The Manufacturer shall maintain a Compliance File to document all quality assurance
provisions and providing evidence of compliance with all the requirements of this specification.
The Compliance file shall contain material certificates for the raw materials of all components
and all production quality control records for the components to be supplied The Manufacturer
shall provide access to the compliance file on request.
The manufacturer shall provide “certificates of conformance” to this specification with each
shipment of product.
The Manufacturer shall provide detailed installation instructions and training in Contractor’s
facilities of operators and supervisors and COMPANY inspectors. These instructions shall
clearly and fully cover handling, cutting, repair, and fixing.

specific measures to be taken in respect to the handling of dust generated by the cutting
process.
Manufacturer’s instructions shall in particular explain how to apply resin sealers, used after
cutting, and repairs, and adhesives. Requirements for health and safety protection for such
applications shall be fully defined.
Manufacturer shall provide an initial period of supervision to monitor storage and handling
during installation, and may be requested to return to the installation site to inspect the
completed grating work.
5.8 SPARES
CONTRACTOR shall supply spare grating panels, stair treads, fixing clips and tie-bars for an
area equal to 3% of the installed FRP grating area, and 5% for stair treads. Spare floor panels
shall be supplied in as rectangular panels with span equal to the largest installed span. Panel

6.0 APPENDICES
This extract is provided for reference. The original source document shall be the basis for
qualification and approval.
The structural fire integrity tests required to qualify grating products are defined as follows:
2.1 Level 1: To be qualified as level 1 (L1), the FRP grating shall meet the requirements
for qualification as level 3 and leel 2, and in addition shall be subjected to the following test
procedures:
2.1.1 Three (3) FRP grating specimens, after being subjected to the level 2 testing, shall be

length. A lead shot bag of 40 kg mass shall be dropped once from a height of 2 m such that
the point of impact is in the center of the span. The specimens shall then be uniformly loaded
as required by the level 2 test procedures.
2.1.2 The test will be considered successful if all three (3) specimens remain intact after being
subjected to the impact test and the level-2 loading test. Failure will be indicated by collapse of
one or more of the grating.
2.2 Level 2: To be qualified as level 2 (L2), the FRP grating shall meet the requirements for
qualification as level 3, and in addition shall be subjected to the following test procedures:
2.2.1 On the FPP grating specimen and the steel-grating specimen subjected to the level 3
post-loaded testing, the specimen shall be gradually loaded in increments not to exceed 20

specimens (post-loaded). The time-temperature curve shall be the standard for E 119 or the
ISO equivalent. The duration of the tests shall be as specified below.
2.3.2 Each test specimen shall be 300-350 mm wide to allow for the differences in the spacing
of longitudinal supporting members. The length of each test specimen shall be the length of
the maximum span to be seen in service plus 200 mm. Four test specimens shall be prepared
as described above; two of the proposed FRP grating and two of similar steel grating that
would be used in the same location constructed to the applicable
regulations and standards (steel grating rated at a minimum of 4.5 kN/m2 (94 lbf/ft2) uniform
loading with a 1.67 factor of safety are acceptable).
a) One steel grating specimen and one FRP grating specimen shall be placed adjacent to

each of the loaded specimens during the test with a degree of accuracy of ± 5 mm
f) The two specimens shall be subjected to the time-temperature curve specified in the
ASTM E 119
g) Deflection of the two loaded test specimens shall be measured throughout the duration
of the fire test and the average furnace temperature shall be recorded when each of
the two specimens has deflected a distance of L/10 (failure point) from the horizontal,
where L is equal to the maximum unsupported span of the specimens; and
h) The test will be considered successful if the difference between the average furnace
temperature at the time of failure of the steel grating and the average furnace
temperature at the time of failure of the FPP grating is less than 100oC (180°F).
a) One steel grating specimen and one FRP grating specimen shall be placed adjacent to
one another in the furnace simply supported on two I-beams with a minimum flange
width of 100 mm at an elevation of at least one half of the furnace height or a minimum
of 300 mm above the burners height
b) The specimens shall be placed on the I-beams such that 100 mm of each side of the
specimen rests on each of the two I-beams
c) The two specimens shall be subjected to the time-temperature curve specified in the
ASTM E 119 for a duration of 60 minutes
d) At the end of the 60 minutes the specimens will be allowed to cool and shall then be
subjected to a static load represented by the 40 kg mass specified in the pre-loaded test
above, placed in the center span of the test specimens, and
e) The test will be considered successful if the FRP grating specimen is intact at the end of
