WHY GMT GRANITE PRODUCTS?
If you want to learn more, please visit our website.
GMT is a manufacturer and supplier of granite surface plates of grade 00, grade 0, grade 1. grade 2 and grade 3. GMT&#;s granite and Cast Iron Products are made at The Metrology Division in Hosur, Tamil Nadu, India, close to rich sources and large deposits of high-quality granite, well suited for Metrology applications.
Indian black granite is best suited for metrology application as this granite has a very fine-grained structure. Some of the properties that help select a rock for metrology application are Co-efficient of thermal expansion, density, water absorption & porosity, flexural and compressive strength.

APPLICATION
Surface plates are used as reference planes for dimensional inspection and calibration of mechanical artefacts. This plate acts as a datum surface, providing the X and Y coordinates for dimension measurements. So, the flatness of the plate is critical. For that reason, this flatness measurement commonly carries a tolerance and may include a grade designation. Besides, GMT Metrology Granite Surface Plates meet the DIN and IS Standards specified in the table above. Also, GMT Granite Surface Plates are manufactured to precision standards using the highest quality granite.
ACCURACY
First of all, rigorous quality control inspection is carried out at all stages. Finally, inspection is carried out with a High Precision Computerised Electronic Level calibrated by an NABL accredited lab at regular intervals.
ACCURACY UNDER LOAD
Granite Surface Plates can support a total normal load of 25 kgs. per 0.1 sq.m.
CERTIFICATE OF ACCURACY
A certificate of accuracy is supplied with each plate as per the standards specified by the customer, such as IS, DIN, BS, and JIS.
TECHNICAL DATA
Granite Surface Plates are manufactured in five grades. The typical application of these five grades of plates is as under :
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 :
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
Texture : Fine
Specific Gravity : 3.08 g/cm3
Hardness : Scleroscope over 90
Modulus of Elasticity : 9.0 to 12.0 x 105kg/cm2
Moisture of absorption : Nil
FLATNESS TOLERANCE
The flatness deviation of a local area of 250 mm x 250 mm of the working surface shall not exceed
GRANITE SURFACE PLATE STANDS
These are fabricated of heavy angle iron and reinforced to ensure rigidity. The stands are designed to withstand the weight of the granite surface plates and are supplied with three levelling screws for levelling the granite surface plates.
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

Surface Metrology specify the function of the surface. The important parameter is surface roughness.In manufacturing industries, a surface must be within certain limit of roughness.

SubscribeTherefore, measuring surface roughness is vital to quality control of machining a work-piece.
By Surface Measurement, we can predict the performance of the component and control the manufacturing process.
Flatness is define by the distance between peak and depth point of surface plate.
It is the property of a solid body to resist deformation.
It is the process of Level the table by it&#;s support system.
Grade-00 surface plateAccording to Material used, There are three types of Surface Plate
Granite surface plate have more rigidity for the same depth with the absence of corrosion. They provide a high modulus of rigidity and are moisture free.
Metallic objects like manufactured components/jobs can easily slide on their surface. The usual range available from 400*250*50 mm to **250 mm.
Cast-Iron surface plates used after rough machining is done followed by seasoning for suitable period. Then, heat treatment for relive the internal stress.
CI Surface tableThe accuracy of this surface plate is +/- 0.002 mm to +/-0.005 mm for the surface plate diagonal of 150 mm.
CI surface plate available in 2 grades,
Grade-1 (Maximum flatness is 5 microns for 300mm*300 mm plate)
Grade-2 (Maximum flatness is 20 microns for 300mm*300 mm plate)
Glass surface plate commercially available. These are comparatively light in weight and free from burr and corrosion.
Accuracy varies in the range 0.004 to 0.008 mm. They are available in size of 150mmx150mm to 600mm*800mm.
Inspection and assessment of surface roughness of machined work-piece can be done by different measurement techniques.
