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

Corrosion Resistance

Nickel-plated steel or carbide coatings (hardness 1300HV) protect against wear and chemical damage, extending service life in harsh industrial environments.

Related products

Ceramic gauge blocks are non-magnetic due to being manufactured from ZrO₂ or silicon carbide off. They possess strong corrosion resistant properties, allowing them to be used safely in the cleanroom and medical device fields. Moreover, ceramic gauge blocks possess ultra-low thermal expansion (≤3×10⁻⁶/°C) and high rigidity making them ideal for calibration in the aerospace and semiconductor industries. Surface roughness is ensured to be Ra≤0.01μm which makes wringing possible but also prevents chemical reactions with the measured parts.

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.
