A surface plate can be used as a rigid surface to measure the dimensions with a Vernier height gauge. It is a flat surface with rigid support exactly parallel to the floor.

Surface plate can be used as a rigid surface to measure the dimensions with Vernier height gauge. It is a flat surface with rigid support exactly parallel to the floor.

Actually a flat surface is used to check the flatness of a workpiece and its trueness.

A surface plate is a solid, flat plate used as the main horizontal reference plane for precision inspection, marking out (layout), and tooling setup. The surface plate is often used as the baseline for all measurements to a work-piece, therefore one primary surface is finished extremely flat with accuracy up to 0.00001 in or 250 nm for a grade AA or AAA plate. Surface plates are a very common tool in the manufacturing industry and are often permanently attached to robotic-type inspection devices such as a coordinate-measuring machine.

A surface plate is used taking fatness and squareness of a workpiece.

Surface plate is used to check the flatness of a job and squareness of try square blade.

Surface plate is used to check the trueness flat surface job.

Surface plate used for trueness of job & marking of jobs.

Saface plate is used to determine the crookedness of a surface that is flat.

A surface plate is used for flatness of the work piece.
