Get surface plate results you can trust, every time
If you work around granite plates, you already know how easy it is for small mistakes to turn into big measurement headaches. Freuq gives you clear, practical articles on calibration, care, and standards so you can keep your readings steady and your audits calm.
What you’ll find here
Pick a lane, or bounce between them. Each section is written for people who need usable answers, not a textbook chapter.
Calibration that holds up
Straightforward notes on flatness, repeat readings, and what to record so your next calibration review is boring in the best way.
Care routines that work
Cleaning, handling, and day-to-day habits that keep your plate stable and reduce the little problems that creep into measurements.
Granite care without myths
What actually matters for granite, what doesn’t, and how to avoid damage that shows up later as drift, wear spots, or scratches.
Clear metrology notes for real shop-floor decisions
If you’re the person who gets pulled in when a measurement “doesn’t look right,” you’re in the right place. This blog is for inspectors, calibration techs, and engineers who need to explain what happened and fix it without guesswork.
I keep the writing practical: what to check first, what to write down, and where people usually get tripped up (temperature, support points, dirt, and rushed setups). When a topic gets technical, I slow down and show the steps so you can use it on your next plate check.
Start with the guides you’ll use this week
Open the blog and pick a topic that’s been bugging you, whether it’s cleaning, repeatability, or what your certificate should say. You’ll leave with a checklist you can actually follow.
