Steel Tear Sheets
1 Product(s)Tear plates overview
Tear plates, also known as checker plates, are steel sheets with a characteristic tear or corrugated structure on the surface. This structure offers an excellent Slip resistance and is often used in industrial, commercial and construction applications to ensure safety and stability.
Technical specifications
Tear plates are available in various material grades, with S235JR (W. No. 1.0038) being one of the most common options. These sheets comply with the technical delivery conditions according to EN 10025-2 and the dimensional standards after EN 10363. Standard dimensions include:
-
1.000 x 2.000 mm (K)
-
1.250 x 2.500 mm (M)
-
1.500 x 3.000 mm (G)
Custom widths and lengths are also available for specific requirements.
Weight table
The thickness of the tearplates varies, which affects their weight per square meter. Here is a weight table for different thicknesses:
-
3 mm: 26 kg/m²
-
4 mm: 34 kg/m²
-
5 mm: 42 kg/m²
-
6 mm: 51 kg/m²
-
8 mm: 67 kg/m²
These variations enable flexible adaptation to different load requirements and applications
Possible applications
The tear plates' unique surface structure makes them ideal for applications where slip resistance and durability are critical. The most common areas of application include:
-
Floor coverings: Especially in areas with high Danger of slipping, like Workshops, factory halls and stairs.
-
Vehicle construction: For non-slip loading areas and steps in commercial vehicles.
-
Construction industry: As non-slip surfaces on construction sites and scaffolding.
Advantages
Tear plates offer a number of advantages that make them a preferred choice in various industries:
-
Slip resistance: The textured surface minimizes the risk of slips and falls.
-
Robustness: Made from high-quality steel alloys, they offer good durability against mechanical stress.
-
Versatility: They are available in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, making them suitable for diverse applications.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) about tear plates
1. What are the main applications of tear sheets?
Tear plates are primarily used in areas that require a non-slip surface. These include floor coverings in workshops and factories, treads in commercial vehicles, as well as construction sites and scaffolding in the construction industry. Their robust and non-slip structure makes them ideal for these applications.
2. What materials are used for tear plates?
The most common tear plates are made of S235JR steel (W. No. 1.0038), that of the technical delivery conditions according to EN 10025-2 and and the dimensional standard according to EN 10363 corresponds. This choice of material ensures high resilience and longevity of the sheets.
3. What sizes and thicknesses are available for tearplates?
Tear plates are available in various standard sizes such as 1,000 x 2,000 mm, 1,250 x 2,500 mm and 1,500 x 3,000 mm. The thickness of the sheets typically varies between 3 mm and 8 mm, which affects the weight and resilience of the sheets.
4. How are tear plates installed?
Installation of tear plates can vary depending on the application. As a rule, they are attached to the desired location by screwing or welding. When using them as flooring or stepping surfaces, care must be taken to ensure that they are securely and firmly anchored to make the most of their non-slip properties.
5. Are tear plates corrosion resistant?
Tear plates made from S235JR steel do not provide corrosion resistance.FFor applications in particularly corrosive environments or outdoors, additional protective measures such as galvanizing or coating may be required to extend the life of the sheets.
