FAQ: Technical FAQ on Durable Pre-seasoned round cast iron BBQ griddle plate

Frequently Asked Technical Questions

1. What is the specific composition of EN-GJL-200 cast iron?

EN-GJL-200 features 3.2–3.5% carbon, 1.8–2.5% silicon, and below 0.1% sulfur, delivering excellent graphite structure for superior heat retention and corrosion resistance.

2. What is ASTM B117 Salt Spray Testing?

ASTM B117 is a widely adopted laboratory corrosion test method exposing metal specimens to a saline fog environment for >100 hours, evaluating surface treatment effectiveness. The Durable Pre-seasoned round cast iron BBQ griddle plate passes this test to guarantee long-term durability.

3. What pre-seasoning process is used?

Cast iron plates are coated with edible vegetable oil, then baked at 220–230°C for several hours. This polymerizes oil into the surface structure, securing a natural non-stick finish and FDA-compliant food safety.

4. What installation standards do the griddle plates support?

Dimensions and fit tolerances are engineered per ANSI B46.1 and ISO 2768-m for precise compatibility with both commercial and industrial heating assemblies.

5. How is surface flatness verified?

Each plate is measured using digital surface profilers, ensuring ≤0.5mm deviation over the full span, compliant with ISO 1101 flatness standards.

6. What maintenance is required in foodservice settings?

Minimal — after use, simply clean with warm water and a soft brush. Periodic re-seasoning with vegetable oil is recommended for optimal performance, with no aggressive detergents needed.

7. Is OEM marking/branding available?

Yes, CNC laser etching allows for private labels, serial batch numbers, and unique installation codes for traceability.
