Surface plates are a fundamental measuring tool. They provide an extremely flat plane on which other measurements can be made. Surface plates are available in a variety of tolerance classes:
- Grade AA is the most precise, used in laboratories
- Grade A is for general inspection work
- Grade B is for shop floor work
See: ASME B89.3.7-2013 (the older standard was Federal Specification GGG-P-463c)
