Today, a customer online reached out to ask if the pricing for steel structure floor decking is calculated by square meter or ton. I thought I'd address this topic here, hoping to provide clarity for anyone in need of floor decking solutions.
In reality, there are three main ways to price floor decking: by linear meter, square meter, or ton. These methods are fundamentally the same and can easily be converted into one another. Typically, larger projects tend to use the meter-based pricing system.
However, smaller projects often opt for meter-based quotes as well. We've noticed quite a few online inquiries from customers with smaller-scale projects looking for meter-based pricing since it makes the cost appear more affordable at first glance. For instance, take the closed profile panel YXB65-185-555 with a thickness of 0.75mm, priced at 80 yuan per square meter. Converted into meters, it becomes approximately 57.6 yuan/meter.
At first glance, this seems like a great deal, but it's essentially equivalent when compared across different systems. Some projects are quoted by ton instead, which is less common but offers a more straightforward way to avoid potential issues with material quality.
Let’s illustrate this using the same example. The closed profile panel YXB66-720, with a thickness of 0.75mm, has a price of 80 yuan per square meter and weighs around 10.8kg per square meter. Converted into tons, this equates to roughly 7407 yuan per ton.
We once had a client who specifically requested a ton-based quote. When we inquired about their reasoning, they explained that they had previously worked on a project where the supplier used negative tolerance on shaped steel panels. This oversight led to significant losses and left them frustrated during inspections. While quoting by ton may seem slightly more complex, it helps ensure that manufacturers don’t cut corners on materials. I couldn't help but give them a nod of approval for their caution.
For those considering purchasing floor decking, understanding these different pricing models can help you make informed decisions. Whether you're dealing with a large or small project, knowing how to convert between these units ensures transparency and fairness in your transactions.
Wire Rope Ferrules
The steel wire rope sleeve is a kind of steel wire rope generally used for hoisting, pulling, tensioning and bearing. The length and diameter can be adjusted freely according to the needs. Use steel wire ropes to make rope sleeves, including phosphating coated wire ropes, galvanized steel wire ropes, stainless steel wire ropes, smooth steel wire ropes, etc. Among them, stainless steel wire ropes and galvanized steel wire ropes have good corrosion resistance, and the surface of phosphating coated wire ropes is phosphating. The membrane is an abrasion resistant coating.
