Metrology's Surface Plate Calibration and Resurfacing
Services
• Surface plates are crucial for measuring parts and
equipment with tight tolerances.
• Regular testing and inspection are necessary to ensure
compliance with industry standards and customer parameters.
• Environmental factors, accidents, and catalysts can
cause uneven measurements.
• Flatness measurement is performed using a safe cleaning
solution and a repeat measuring gage.
• Flatness measurements are compared to plate-specific
tolerances and GGG P 463, a federal specification.
• If a single point on the surface plate fails to comply,
the plate must be rejected or resurfaced.
• Metrology offers 24/7 emergency response, rapid
turnaround, and professionally trained calibration technicians.
