About Straight Edge (3 Meters)
Straight Edge (3 Meters)A straight edge approximately 3 metres in length may be used to determine lateral surface regularity of a road surface. This lightweight apparatus is made up of mild steel or aluminum as per customers requirement and is equally supported at both ends producing a set height between the road surface & the beam. Any vertical irregularity is measured using incremented wedges.
Superior Precision for Professional EnvironmentsEngineered for high-precision flatness and straightness checks, this straight edge is ideal for workshops, laboratories, and machining operations. Its precision-ground, corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction ensures measurement integrity even under rigorous industrial conditions.
Convenient Features Enhance UsabilityEquipped with integral handles, this straight edge allows for easy and safe lifting during inspections. Its beveled and straight edges offer versatile usage, and the protective wooden case ensures your equipment remains in excellent condition when not in use.
FAQs of Straight Edge (3 Meters):
Q: How do I use the 3-meter straight edge to check surface flatness?
A: To check flatness, position the beveled or straight edge along the surface you wish to measure. Observe for any gaps or deviations between the straight edge and the workpiece. The precision-ground surface provides highly accurate readings, ideal for industrial and laboratory applications.
Q: What materials and environments is this straight edge designed for?
A: This straight edge is crafted from hardened stainless steel, making it suitable for mechanical, industrial, and laboratory environments where accuracy, durability, and rust resistance are crucial. It performs reliably within a temperature range of 0C to 50C.
Q: When is the best time to use this tool for flatness inspection?
A: The straight edge should be used during maintenance checks, machine installations, or quality control processes to ensure precision and prevent errors caused by uneven surfaces. Periodic usage is recommended to maintain high standards.
Q: Where should I store the straight edge when not in use?
A: For the best longevity, store the straight edge in its provided protective wooden case in a clean, dry environment. This minimizes exposure to potential contaminants and accidental damage.
Q: What is the benefit of the integral handles?
A: The integral handles allow for convenient and safe lifting, reducing the risk of slipping or damaging both the tool and the inspected surfaces during routine use.
Q: Does this straight edge comply with any quality standards?
A: Yes, it is manufactured in accordance with DIN 874 standards, ensuring reliable accuracy and high manufacturing quality.
