  • There is no single way to measure for flatness. It depends on the size of the feature, the size of the tolerance, the customer's requirements, etc. Aim for 'Adequate CoverageTm'.

    Manually, you can use a known flat standard along with calibrated feeler gages. Depending on the part, you could set up on a granite and sweep the surface with an indicator.
