Why Granite Is Trusted In Metrology

Granite provides a stable, non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant surface, ideal for demanding metrology environments.

Its natural hardness, rigidity and fine-grained structure provide an extremely stable reference surface for high-accuracy measurement. Granite offers excellent flatness retention, low thermal expansion and minimal susceptibility to warping or deformation over time, even in controlled or fluctuating environments.

Inherent vibration damping helps reduce measurement error, while resistance to corrosion and wear makes granite well suited to both laboratory and industrial applications. As a non-magnetic, chemically inert material, granite ensures consistent measurement performance across a wide range of operating conditions.

When correctly specified, installed and maintained, granite delivers consistent, repeatable performance over time.

Material Characteristics

  • Exceptional dimensional stability
  • Very low coefficient of thermal expansion and negligible creep
  • High surface hardness and excellent wear resistance
  • Natural vibration damping capacity
  • High stiffness (elastic modulus)
  • Excellent corrosion and chemical resistance
  • Low water absorption
  • Non-magnetic and electrically insulating
  • Chemically inert
  • Low maintenance requirements
  • Long service life
  • Cost-effective for precision inspection and metrology applications
Granite bed plates

Granite Bed Plates

Granite bed plates provide a rigid, stable foundation for inspection and measurement applications.

Designed for floor-mounted applications, typically surface-mounted or flush with final floor level.

Fully customised in size, layout and interface features to meet specific inspection and operational requirements.

Surfaces are available plain, with T-slots or threaded interface features.

Granite Surface Tables

Granite surface tables provide a rigid, stable foundation for inspection and measurement applications.

Serving the same function as bed plates, surface tables are typically smaller and can be mounted on a stand or frame to provide a comfortable working height.

Fully customised in size, layout and interface features to meet specific inspection and operational requirements.

Surfaces are available plain, with T-slots or threaded interface features.
