GMT Cast Iron Surface Plates are the result of years experience as a manufacturer both in foundry technology and metrology. These plates are of close-grained cast iron. They are amply ribbed to minimize deflection under load. The composition of the metal, the depth and cross-section of the ribs and the thickness of the plate are designed to conform to the deflection limits specified in IS-2285-2003. GMT Surface plates are manufactured to three grades namely Grade-0, Grade-I & Grade-II, as per the standard stated above. They can be made to other standards on request.
