ACCURACY
Rigorous quality control inspection is
carried out at all stages. Final inspection is
carried out at a High Precision
Computerised Electronic Level.
ACCURACY UNDER LOAD
Granite Surface Plates are capable of
supporting a total normal load of 25 kgs.
per 0.1 sq.mtr.

GRADE 2 & 3 are intended for use in


shops for general inspection. The choice
of Grade 2 & 3 will depend on the
application needs of the customer.
MATERIAL
Granite Surface Plates are made from
select granite with uniform distribution of
light and dark constituents. In such granite
the minerals are evenly distributed
resulting in a homogenous appearance.
The following are the representative
properties of our granites :
Texture

: Fine

CERTIFICATE
A certificate of accuracy is supplied with
each plate as per standards specified.

Specific
Gravity

: 3.08 g/cm

Hardness

: Scleroscope over 90

TECHNICAL DATA
Granite Surface Plates are manufactured
in five grades. The typical application of
these five grades of plates is as under:

Modules of
Elasticity

: 9.0 to 12.0 x 10 kg /cm

Moisture of
absorption

: Nil

GRADE 00 as per DIN : 876 : 84 is of


laboratory grade. It is specified for
precision measurement in
gauge rooms and metrology laboratories.

FLATNESS TOLERANCE
The flatness deviation of a local area of
250 mm x 250 mm of the working surface
shall not exceed :

GRADE 0 is of inspection grade. It is


specified for general work in quality
control.

I. 3.0 m for plates of Grade 00

II. 3.5 m for plates of Grade 0


III.7.0 m for plates of Grade 1

GRADE 1 is of tool room grade. It is


specified for production checking work
through the shop.
