Traffic signs are one of the common traffic facilities. Its structure is mainly composed of aluminum plates, reflective films, aluminum troughs and other raw materials. Among them, aluminum plates are the key part the entire traffic sign, and the reflective film is a reflective material used to display the content of the traffic sign.
Except for some specific warning signs, prohibition signs, instruction signs, and construction signs that are specified by national regulations, other signs generally require customized processing. How do we choose aluminum plate thickness and the grade of reflective film when customizing traffic sign?
When customizing traffic signs, you need to choose the corresponding aluminum plate thickness according to the sign design drawings. The thickness of the aluminum plate has a close relationship with the wind and pressure resistance of the sign.
Generally, a sign with a smaller area within 2 m2 can use thin aluminum sheet such as 16 ga aluminum thickness. A single sign that exceeds 5 square meters is considered as a larger sign, which needs a thick aluminum sheet such as aluminium sheet 3mm. The thickness of aluminum sheet for a single sign that exceeds 9 squares is between 3.0-3.5 mm.
When customizing traffic signs, you need to select the corresponding reflective film materials according to the design drawings. Different grades of the reflective films are applied to different grades of roads. Their reflective performance and durability is also different.
