HYDROTEC Load Standards

The document discusses standards DIN19580 and EN 1433 for load testing of trench drains. DIN19580 is being superseded by EN 1433, which tests trench drains and grates using the same method and load categories up to over 200,000 lbs. Both standards provide testing for complete trench drains and individual grates, and account for proof loading and catastrophic failure. The standards establish six load classes from A to F for lighter to heavier duty applications like residential areas to airports.

Load Standard DIN19580 / EN 1433

DIN19580 is the only standard written specifically for trench drains, and that is internationally recognized.
DIN 19580 accounts for different widths of grates:
- For trench drains less than 8 wide, the required test block for load testing is 10 long by 3 wide;
- For trench drains 8 and 12 wide, the test block is 10 by 6;
- For trench drains over 12, the test block is 10 diameter.
This ensures that no load is transferred to the grate supports and the full force of the test load is directed onto the
grate itself.
DIN 19580 is being superseded by EN 1433. EN 1433 tests products in exactly the same method as DIN 19580 with the
same load categories, up to 202,320lbs - 4,182psi.
As with DIN 19580, EN 1433 offers testing methods for both the complete trench drain and individual grates. It
accounts for both proof loading and catastrophic failure.
