Black Granite Surface Plates

SERIES 517

GRANITE SURFACE PLATES

FEATURES
Natural granite seasoned for thousands of years is free from deterioration or dimensional change over time. Granite surface plate has many advantages over cast iron surface plates: Twice as hard as cast iron. Minimal changes in dimension due to temperature changes. Free from wringing, so there is no interruption of work.

Free from burrs or protrusions because of the fine grain structure and insignificant stickiness; this ensures a high degree of flatness over a long service life and causes no damage to other parts or instruments.

QUICK GUIDE TO PRECISION MEASUREMENT

WRINGING
(1) Decide on the combination of gauge blocks to be used while keeping the following points in mind: a. Use as few gauge blocks as possible to obtain the required dimension. b. Select thick gauge blocks whenever possible. c. Select gauge blocks starting with the one that has least significant digit required, and then work up to ones with more significant digits. (2) Clean the gauge blocks with an appropriate cleaning agent. (3) Check the gauge blocks for burrs. Use an optical flat to check for burrs, as follows: a. Clean the measuring face. b. Gently bring the optical flat into contact with the measuring face. c. Gently slide the optical flat on the measuring face and interference fringes will appear. Check 1: If no interference fringes can be seen, a large burr or dust may be contaminating the measuring face.

Gauge Block Terminology

GAUGE BLOCK

d. Gently press the optical flat against the measuring face and the interference fringes will disappear. Check 2: If the interference fringes disappear, it indicates that there is no burr present. Check 3: If the interference fringes remain partially, gently move the optical flat to and fro. Then, if the fringes are seen in the same location on the measuring face, there is a burr on the gauge block surface; if the fringes remain in the same location on the optical flat, there is a burr on the optical flat. e. Remove burrs, if any, from the measuring face. (See page 273.) (4) Apply a very small amount of oil to the measuring face and spread it evenly over the entire surface. Wipe the film of oil from the surface. Grease, spindle oil, or Vaseline is normally applied. (5) Gently bring the two measuring faces into contact using one of the following methods, depending on the sizes of the gauge blocks to be wrung together.

a. Wringing two thick gauge blocks:

Bring the two measuring faces into contact with each other at right angles.

While applying a small amount of pressure, gently turn one gauge block on the other. You will feel the two blocks stick together.

Slide one gauge block over the other so that the sides of the gauge blocks are flush with each other.

b. Wringing a thin gauge block to a thick gauge block:

Irregular interference fringes

Place one end of the thin gauge block onto one end of the thick gauge block.

While applying pressure evenly over the entire wringing surface, slide the thin gauge block over the other until the two measuring faces coincide with each other.

c. Wringing two thin gauge blocks:

Check the wringing condition with an optical flat.

To prevent the gauge blocks from bending, temporarily wring one of the thin gauge blocks to a thick gauge block that will be used as a support.

Wring the other thin gauge block to the first block.

Remove the thick gauge block.

Heatsink

Wipe the measuring faces clean and thermally stabilize the gauge blocks before measurement.
