Cable trays come in various forms, including fiberglass cable trays, steel cable trays, aluminum alloy cable trays, composite epoxy resin composite cable trays, composite material SMC cable trays, polyurethane cable trays, and phenolic resin cable trays. Today, we will mainly introduce fiberglass cable trays. What is the weight per square meter of fiberglass cable trays?

Glass fiber reinforced plastic cable tray is made of resin and glass fiber through one-time drawing at high temperature. It has light weight, anti-aging, anti-corrosion, insulation and other properties. Generally, the density of glass fiber reinforced plastic cable tray can also be referred to as the weight of 1.85 kilograms per cubic meter, which means 1.85 kilograms per cubic meter. If we know what the density is, we can calculate whether the actual thickness of the purchased glass fiber reinforced plastic cable tray is enough to meet our requirements.

When some companies purchase fiberglass cable trays, they choose thicker trays compared to the national standard thickness in order to increase their load-bearing capacity. The manufacturer will tell us the thickness of the trays they produce, but we need to use thickness gauges or calipers to determine whether the actual thickness is sufficient. However, manufacturers usually do not have specialized tools such as thickness gauges, so we can use weighing methods to calculate.

Firstly, we need to measure the size of the fiberglass cable tray with a tape measure, and then weigh the weight of one tray to see if there is a significant difference between the actual weight and our theoretical weight. To calculate the theoretical weight of a specification, we multiply the unfolded area of the tray by its thickness. The unfolded area is the total width of the two groove edges and one groove bottom of the fiberglass tray, plus the length of the flip edge. The length is the length of each of our trays, and the height, which is the thickness of the product we require. The length and width units are converted into meters, multiplied by the thickness in millimeters, and then multiplied by the theoretical weight of 1.85, which is the theoretical weight of this tray.

Finally, compare with the actual weight we weighed. If the actual weight is lighter than the theoretical weight, it means that the thickness of the fiberglass cable tray does not meet our requirements. If the actual weight is heavier than or equal to the theoretical weight, congratulations on buying the right one. You have chosen a reliable manufacturer and can continue to cooperate.
