Unmatched Flatness & AccuracyOur granite surface plates are lapped and finished to achieve flatness tolerances of up to 3 microns per meter (Grade 00), making them ideal for high-precision applications. Each plate is supplied with a lapping certification and test certificate, ensuring accuracy and reliability in measurement and inspection tasks.
Customizable for VersatilityAvailable in both rectangular and square shapes, plates can be tailored in size, thickness (from 300 mm to 800 mm), and equipped with optional T-slots or leveling stands. This flexibility allows seamless integration into laboratories, tool rooms, and manufacturing environments, accommodating specific measurement ranges up to 6000 mm x 2000 mm.
Durability for Demanding EnvironmentsMade from high-density, non-corrosive black granite, these plates are thermally stable, rust-proof, and highly wear-resistant. Edge chamfering enhances safety, while robust wooden crate packaging ensures secure transport. Their superior build quality supports load capacities up to 20 tons and ensures long-term stability in industrial or lab settings.
FAQ's of Granite Surface Plate:
Q: How is the granite surface plate used in precision measurement and inspection?
A: Granite surface plates provide a high-flatness reference base for positioning, calibration, and inspection of tools, gauges, and components. Their stability and accuracy make them essential in precision measurement in industrial, laboratory, and tool room settings.
Q: What grade options are available, and which grade should I choose for my application?
A: The plates are offered in Grade 00 (laboratory use), Grade 0 (inspection), Grade 1, and Grade 2, each adhering to IS:7327-2003 / DIN 876. Choose Grade 00 for maximum flatness in laboratories, or select Grades 0-2 based on your required inspection or workshop tolerance levels.
Q: When should I opt for custom sizes or features like T-slots or leveling stands?
A: Custom sizes, T-slots, and leveling stands are recommended when standard plates do not fit operational requirements or when specific mounting and workpiece securing needs arise. These features can be requested as per your specifications to optimize workspace and workflow.
Q: Where can granite surface plates be installed, and how are they mounted?
A: Granite surface plates can be installed in laboratories, tool rooms, workshops, or inspection areas. They can be floor-mounted directly or used with an optional leveling stand, which aids in achieving perfect horizontal alignment, improving measurement accuracy.
Q: What is the process to ensure flatness and quality of the plate?
A: Every plate undergoes precise lapping and finishing to achieve high flatness. Each piece is individually tested in accordance with IS:7327-2003 standards, and a test certificate is supplied, guaranteeing the stated flatness tolerance and quality performance.
Q: How does the granite construction benefit measurement accuracy over time?
A: Black granite's high density, hardness (minimum 70 HRC), and low thermal expansion (5.5 x 106 /C) provide long-term dimensional stability and resistance to warping, scratching, and corrosion, ensuring reliable accuracy in various environmental conditions.
Q: Can the plate withstand heavy industrial loads and harsh conditions?
A: Yes, these plates are designed to handle loads up to 20 tons, with superior wear resistance and rust-proof properties. They perform consistently across a broad temperature (0-45C) and humidity (0-85%) range, making them suitable for demanding industrial settings.
