    Granite Inspection Parallels

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Inspection Parallels. Granite Inspection Parallels.
    Support and align workpieces for precise measuring and inspecting. Made of black granite, these inspection parallels won’t rust or warp from temperature changes, and they won’t scratch surfaces. Unlike metal inspection parallels, they’re also nonmagnetic, so they won’t interfere with sensitive electronic equipment. Made in pairs, these inspection parallels are precision ground to tight tolerances for matching flat surfaces on two or four sides. They come with a certificate traceable to NIST confirming their accuracy.
    2 Precision-Ground Sides—Inspection parallels with 2 precision-ground sides have a tight parallel tolerance on the top and bottom edges.
    4 Precision-Ground Sides—Inspection parallels with 4 precision-ground sides have a tight parallel tolerance on the top edge, bottom edge, and both faces.
    Inspection-Grade A Plate—Inspection Grade A inspection parallels are used for general inspections and quality-control work. They’re slightly less precise than Grade AA ones.
    Laboratory-Grade AA Plate—Laboratory Grade AA inspection parallels have the tightest tolerance for the highest level of accuracy. They’re best for inspections and quality-control work in calibration labs.
