Laboratory Testing Inc. Implements Improved Surface Plate Calibration Services

Oct. 30, 2008 - PRLog -- HATFIELD, PA – Laboratory Testing Inc. (LTI) of PA recently implemented a computerized calibration system using leveling feet to provide customers with enhanced surface plate calibration services. The computerized system provides the most reliable surface evaluation and documents results for customers with detailed diagrams and measurement readings explaining surface plate wear and deviation from standards.
   
Surface plates wear with use and must be properly maintained to ensure continued precision measurement. Routine calibration to measure surface flatness and repeatability, followed by resurfacing to restore flatness within grade guidelines, will maintain the accuracy of a surface plate. LTI’s new calibration system includes these steps, as well as cleaning and lightly polishing the plate. A calibration certification is provided showing “as found” and “as left” conditions, standard requirements and all calibration results.
