Checkered plate, also known as diamond plate, tread plate and Durbar floor plate,
is a type of lightweight metal stock with a regular pattern of raised diamonds or lines on one side,
with the reverse side being featureless.
Steel checkered plates are normally made by hot rolling, although modern manufacturers also make
a raised and pressed diamond design.
Most common patterns are lentil, diamond, round bean and flat circle.
The checkered plate has many advantages, such as beautiful appearance, anti-skid ability,
enhanced performance and steel saving.
It is widely used in transportation, architecture, decoration, equipment surrounding floor,
machinery, shipbuilding and other fields.
Generally speaking, the user does not have high requirements on the mechanical properties of the checkered plate.
Therefore, the quality of the checkered plate is mainly manifested in
the pattern formation rate, pattern height and pattern height difference.
