What grade stainless steel are these made out of? (like 18/0 or 18/8) Strong enough to hold a cast iron dutch oven?

I saved the packaging material from my rack(s) and there is no mention of the wire gauge; nor did I find the information on the product page of the Checkered Chef's website. You might try contacting the company directly at: https://checkeredchef.com/contact/. I placed my cast iron Dutch Oven (w/lid), plus a 5 lb. bag of flour & a 4 lb. bag of sugar (25 lbs. total) in the center of the rack (over just the center pair of legs) and it bowed a little but seemed to hold fine. If you offset the load to one side (so it is supported by two pair of legs), I think it will hold forever. Also, the simulated 9 lb. load of Dutch Oven content (the bags of flour & sugar) might be a bit extreme. Hope this helps.

What are the exact rack dimensions?

8 and 1/8 x11 and 5/8 inches. They fit perfectly in my NordicWare 1/4 sheet pans/

the Nordicware interior dimension of half sheet pan is 16.5" x 11.38" and I am having difficulty finding a rack that fits inside it; what fits?

I just received this rack a few weeks ago and carefully measured the overall outer dimensions at: 11 9/16" x 16 11/16". The outer dimensions of the feet on the bottom side are: 8 3/8" x 11 11/16". Also, the rack stands 3/8" high (to the BOTTOM of the top surface/rack). Add 1/8" for the thickness of the top surface/rack edge for an overall height of 1/2". Hope this helps.

How tight is the spacing? 1/4 in? 3/8 in?

1/2 in. square. I use them in my smoker for jerky and have not had a problem of anything falling through.
