PRODUCT DETAILS
3" Steel Form Deck (commonly designated in North American engineering specifications as 3.0F, Deep Form Deck, or 3" Non-Composite Floor Deck) is the deepest-profile structural corrugated steel panel designed exclusively to serve as a high-strength, permanent stay-in-place formwork for poured concrete floor slabs.
Unlike 3" composite floor decks, 3" form deck features a completely smooth surface profile with no interlocking mechanical embossments . Since the steel sheet does not achieve a structural bond with the cured concrete, it cannot be calculated as tensile reinforcement for the long-term slab design load . Its core purpose is to provide the legal structural capacity to support the heavy weight of wet concrete and construction personnel across massive spans during the pouring phase, while the final floor strength relies entirely on internal conventional rebar or heavy welded wire mesh.

Engineering Notes |
|
Material Thickness (Gauges) |
22, 20, 18, 16 Gauge |
Due to its long-span applications, thinner gauges are rarely used; 18GA and 16GA are the most common selections. |
|
Steel Grade |
Grade 40 to Grade 80 structural steel |
High-yield structural steel ensures maximum stiffness and controls mid-span deflection . |
|
Standard Finishes |
G60 / G90 Galvanized or Unpainted (Black Steel) |
Galvanized finishes provide permanent rust protection; unpainted black steel is utilized for temporary templates or completely dry environments . |
|
Venting Options |
Solid or Vented Slots |
Vented profiles feature small slotted perforations in the bottom flutes to let excess hydration moisture escape downward . |
