D-617  OPTICAL FLATS

 

  • Quartz flats to 24 inch diameter
  • Mahogany case
  • Basic and economical for flatness testing
  • Easily measure surface flatness to 0.000 001 1 inch
  • Check gage blocks or lapped and polished surfaces
  • Certification of accuracy traceable to NIST

 

Optical Flats are versatile for measuring surface flatness of polished areas and determining variations between work surfaces and the surface of the optical flat.  They are valuable for inspecting gage blocks for wear and accuracy.

 

Davidson Optronics' Precision Optical Flats are produced from high quality Pyrex or selected Fused Silica (Quartz).  Other materials such as Zerodur are available.  Blanks are inspected and chosen prior to grinding to eliminate blanks with strains, defects, or lack of clarity.  Blanks are specified to be thick in proportion to diameter in a ratio of 1:6 or better to insure rigidity, then accurately ground and polished to required flatness limits, complete with edges ground and chamfered.
