NIST Traceable Scratch Dig Standards

Feature Requirements in Accordance with ISO 10110-7 & ISO 14997
First Surface Pattern for System Calibration or Coating Inspection
Second Surface Pattern for Measuring Surface Defects

NIST Traceable Scratch Dig Standards are ideal for qualifying the scratch and dig surface defects on optical components. In addition to the Scratch Dig markings, there is a 60mm scale, 6 grids varying in size, and 6 blocks of lines with varying frequencies on each plate. The grids can be used to measure the area of irregularly shaped defects. For the NIST Traceable Scratch Dig Standards, the square root of the total defect area for a region is the grade number for that region. The standards are offered as sets of two plates. Plate 1 includes grade numbers ranging from 0.004 to 0.040, while Plate 2 includes 0.040 to 0.400. The first surface sets have the features marked on the top of the glass substrate. The second surface set has the features marked on the bottom of the glass substrate. The features on the positive set are opaque on a clear background. The features on the negative set are clear on an opaque background.

Note: Certificate of Compliance is included with each product.
