Ranges are indicative industry figures for RFQ preparation, not a supplier commitment. Confirm every value and standard with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
This component is essential for the following industrial systems and equipment:
| pressure: | Up to 10 MPa (100 bar) for standard designs, higher with reinforcement |
| other spec: | Surface flatness tolerance: ±0.025 mm/m, heating uniformity: ±2°C across surface |
| temperature: | Typically 50°C to 400°C, depending on heating system and plate material |
Indicative industry ranges for design and RFQ preparation. Confirm the exact figures and applicable standard with the manufacturer before specifying.

A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
Surface plates are available in stainless steel, tool steel, and aluminum alloy. Material grades range from AISI 1045 to AISI 4140, with surface hardness between HRC 40 and 55. The choice depends on the application's wear resistance and thermal conductivity requirements.
The maximum operating temperature is 200–400°C. Above 400°C, warping may occur. Temperature uniformity is maintained within ±5°C to ensure even processing.
Flatness tolerance is ±0.05 mm/m per ISO 1101. This is critical for uniform contact between the plate and the material being processed.
The values listed are reference ranges. You must confirm model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier to ensure suitability for your process.
