Box per container sqm per box approx. 0 80 mm steel sheet. Simply to say weight capacity is just that how much weight the raised floor system will hold also refer to load bearing capacity. Ceramic tiles used on floors and walls must be able to withstand the expected load bearing capacity of various installations.

The break strength of a tile is the amount of weight that it can withstand unsupported before it breaks. Increasing the total weight on the floor to 4 480 pounds however results in a live load of 40 psf which is beyond the floor s load capacity.
