Abstract
Angle error measurement is one of the important icons in orientation tolerances. This paper presents new method of angle error measurement in angular artifacts based on flatness planes. The flatness plane has been developed based on minimum zone method. The method is simple and no expensive equipments like interferometer or autocollimator and index table are required. One prism, having four sides has been presented as an example to show the effectiveness of the proposed method. Results indicate that new method is very effective to measure angle error in angular artifacts.
