Description
The 24×36 inch surface plate is a precision-ground, high-quality plate designed for various industrial and scientific applications. Constructed from durable materials, such as granite or steel, this plate provides a stable and flat surface, ensuring accuracy and reliability in measurement and inspection tasks. The 24×36 inch dimension offers a spacious working area, accommodating larger components and assemblies, while the plate’s thickness, typically ranging from 2 to 4 inches, ensures stability and minimizes vibration. The surface finish, often precision-ground to a high degree of flatness (e.g., ±0.0002 inches), enables accurate measurements and inspections, making this plate ideal for applications such as quality control, engineering, and laboratory settings. Additionally, the plate’s surface may feature a grid pattern or other markings to facilitate measurement and alignment tasks.
Specifications:
- Material: Usually made from granite or cast iron.
- Dimensions: 24 inches x 36 inches (610 mm x 910 mm).
- Thickness: Generally ranges from 3 to 6 inches (75 mm to 150 mm), depending on the grade and usage.
- Flatness Tolerance:
- Grade AA: Laboratory grade, flatness tolerance of approximately 12 microinches (0.3 µm).
- Grade A: Inspection grade, flatness tolerance of approximately 24 microinches (0.6 µm).
- Grade B: Workshop grade, flatness tolerance of approximately 48 microinches (1.2 µm).
- Surface Finish: Typically around 16 to 32 microinches (0.4 to 0.8 µm) Ra (Roughness average).
- Weight: Usually ranges between 200 to 300 pounds (90 to 136 kg), depending on thickness and material.
- Hardness (for granite): Typically ranges from 5.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale.
- Thermal Coefficient of Expansion:
- Granite: Approximately 4.7 x 10^-6 /°F (8.5 x 10^-6 /°C).
- Cast Iron: Approximately 6.0 x 10^-6 /°F (10.8 x 10^-6 /°C).
- Dampening Properties (for granite): Granite surface plates are known for their excellent vibration dampening properties.
- Non-magnetic (for granite): Ideal for use with magnetic-based measurement devices.
- Corrosion Resistance (for granite): Does not rust, making it ideal for a variety of environments.
