3 1/2" tongue and groove floor deck (plank)

3 1/2" tongue and groove floor deck (plank)

3 1/2" tongue and groove floor deck (plank)

(OP)
Does anyone know where I can find span tables for 3 1/2" thick tongue and groove floor deck (plank).  Maybe a website for a manufacturer.  I have googled it and have not had any luck.  This is a commercial application and trying to span 4 to 6 feet.

RE: 3 1/2" tongue and groove floor deck (plank)

I used to use tables out of the AITC manual. Perhaps they have them on their website.

RE: 3 1/2" tongue and groove floor deck (plank)

Is it 3.5'' wide??

Then how deep, what grade, what load??

Then go to NDS and you can get an answer

A quick calc shows that 3.5'' wide and 1'' thick might span 4' at 50 psf total load (not a typical commercial load) - possibly a bit bouncy

RE: 3 1/2" tongue and groove floor deck (plank)

(OP)
It's 3.5" thick.  It has double tongues and gooves.  It is used for plank and beam framing and in heavy timber structures.  I know I can calculate it from the NDS, I just wanted some manufacture tables or AITC span tables.
