Gauge Block: Precision Dimensional Measuring Standards

This page provides an overview of gauge blocks (also known as slip gauges), which are precision measuring instruments used for dimensional calibration and verification. Made from high-quality steel or ceramic, they feature extremely flat and parallel surfaces, offering accuracy within microns. Topics include their design, grading, applications in metrology, and usage in workshops and laboratories.

Advantages of the product

Ultra-High Precision

Tolerance classes up to IT0 (±0.0005mm) and surface flatness ≤0.0002mm make them ideal for calibrating CMMs, micrometers, and calipers. Essential in metrology labs for traceable measurements.

With gauge blocks of high order for calibration – lapped surface building blocks with roughness (Ra≤0.02μm) and dimensional accuracy of ±0.0005mm. They are made either from stabilized steel (such as AISI 440C) or ceramic. Blocks serve as the base for traceable measurements in metrology labs where micrometers, calipers, and coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) are calibrated. These sets also contain incremental sizes ranging from 1 mm to 100 mm in addition to special shapes like squares and rectangles corresponding to ISO 3650 and ASME B89.1.9 standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size ranges do gauge blocks cover?

They range from 0.5mm to 1000mm in metric/inch systems, with incremental sets for custom lengths via wringing, achieving sub-micron accuracy.
