Frequently Asked Questions
What is a box type surface plate used for?
A box type surface plate is used as a stable reference plane for inspection, marking off, and precision measurement of components. Its rigid construction ensures a true flat surface for accurate readings with gauges and indicators.
What accuracy grades are available?
Our box type surface plates are manufactured and calibrated to ISO 8512-2 Grade 0, which provides a flatness tolerance of approximately 0.005 mm per meter. This makes them suitable for high-precision marine engineering applications.
How do I maintain a surface plate on board a ship?
To maintain accuracy and prevent corrosion, keep the surface clean and lightly coated with a thin layer of rust-preventive oil. Use a soft brush or cloth to remove debris, and avoid dropping heavy objects on the plate. Periodic re-calibration is recommended to ensure continued performance.
Can you supply surface plates with calibration certification?
Yes, calibration certificates traceable to national standards can be provided for any plate upon request. Please contact our sales team for details and pricing.
