WERKA precision granite surface plates, squares, and straight edges
WERKA surface plates manufactured from natural black granite comply with DIN 876 standards, serving as the metrological foundation for dimensional setup and calibration. Diamond-lapped working surfaces prevent mechanical creep, resist chemical acids, and eliminate magnetic drag.
- Diamond-lapped measuring surfaces manufactured strictly according to DIN 876
- Stress-relieved black granite blocks eliminate dimensional distortion over time
- Custom machining options for T-slots and dovetail clamp channels upon request
- Completely non-magnetic, corrosion-free, and resistant to aggressive media
WERKA gauge block sets, thread plug gauges, and ring standards
WERKA gauge block sets, pin gauges, and thread plug standards serve as dimensional reference masters for micrometer calibration and thread inspection. Heat-treated alloy steel and zirconia ceramic materials preserve calibrated nominal sizes throughout repeated production cycles.
- Gauge block sets available in hardened alloy steel and zirconia ceramic builds
- Outstanding wringing qualities enabling secure buildup of custom block stacks
- Precision metric thread plug and ring gauges machined to international bounds
- Welding inspection gauges, feeler blades, and radius leaves for rapid checks
Metrological standards and Swiss heritage of WERKA measuring tools
Swiss precision engineering principles have defined WERKA manufacturing standards since the company was founded in 1950. Dimensional inspection tools comply strictly with DIN 862 for calipers, DIN 863 for micrometers, and DIN 878 for dial indicators.
Mechanical components are machined from high-grade stainless alloy that undergoes cryogenic stabilization to eliminate structural thermal distortion.
Every finished instrument undergoes outgoing laboratory verification on dedicated inspection stands, recording dimensional planarity and thread pitch accuracy across production batches to maintain repeatability.
Selection criteria for WERKA digital calipers and micrometers
Selecting appropriate WERKA hand tools depends on workpiece geometry, required engineering tolerances, and workshop environmental exposure.
For production machine shops with heavy coolant flooding, Series 2230 digital calipers with IP67 protection and inductive sensors resist fluid ingress and oil film contamination.
When inspecting heat-treated components or ground tooling, Series 2232 calipers equipped with hard carbide jaw faces resist abrasive wear. For external diameters, Series 3111 micrometers with interchangeable anvils provide uniform inspection pressure via integrated friction thimbles.
Equipping quality control stations with dial indicators and granite stands
Checking radial runout, shaft alignment, and part squareness in workshop environments requires dependable dial indicators and lever test indicators.
WERKA indicator gear assemblies incorporate synthetic jewel bearings to reduce internal friction and avoid indicator needle sticking during minute surface deviations.
Paired with Series 7132 comparator stands built on fine-grained natural black granite bases, operators benefit from high structural rigidity. A fine adjustment clamp with 1-1.2 mm travel permits operators to set needle zero accurately without displacing the indicator mounting arm.
Vertical dimension layout and inspection with Series 2231 height gauges
WERKA Series 2231 digital height gauges provide the primary measurement reference for verifying step heights, groove depths, and hole centerlines on machined components.
The solid ceramic working table offers exceptional hardness, thermal stability, and wear resistance against continuous workpiece sliding. A high-brightness 7-digit LED display ensures unambiguous operator readings under industrial ambient lighting.
The onboard digital processor supports peak hold functions, while the direct digital port exports recorded measurement arrays straight into plant databases.
Establishing laboratory metrology reference on DIN 876 granite plates
Creating a dependable metrological datum inside inspection laboratories begins with installing a WERKA natural black granite surface plate manufactured to DIN 876 grade 00 or grade 0.
Natural crystalline granite contains zero residual mechanical stresses, ensuring the working surface remains flat despite seasonal ambient temperature variations.
Precision diamond lapping yields an ultra-smooth finish that allows comparator stands and gauge blocks to glide smoothly without air flotation gaps. Granite is non-magnetic, electrically non-conductive, and resistant to workshop solvents.
Thread inspection and micrometer calibration with WERKA gauge blocks
Regular calibration of workshop micrometers and setting bore gauges to nominal sizes relies on WERKA rectangular gauge block sets produced from alloy tool steel or wear-resistant zirconia ceramics.
Superior surface lapping delivers exceptional wringing properties, enabling secure buildup of combination block stacks across lengths from 0.5 to 100 mm.
For outbound thread inspection on production lines, WERKA hardened thread plug and ring gauges maintain strict pitch and flank tolerances, preventing assembly fit errors and out-of-tolerance parts from entering downstream supply chains.
