Zero plates are uncoated steel (1018 steel) or aluminum (6061-T6) disks. The first gage measurement is on a zero plate to verify that the gage measures zero correctly. Electronic gages can usually be adjusted to Ò0Ó if necessary. A zero plate is also a convenient base onto which a plastic shim or polystyrene block can be placed for measurement. Plate Diameter: 38 mm (1.5").
