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

The head of the micrometer along with the spindle, thimble, and ratchet stop form a micrometer which is a mechanical instrument which gives accurate linear measurements. Its construction consists of hardened steel (60-62 HRC) and it has a 0.5mm pitch screw that allows it a resolution of 0.01mm, with an accuracy of ±0.002mm. Digitalized micrometer heads with USB outputs and LCD displays (resolution of 0.0001mm) are prevalent in metrology labs, while interchangeable heads enable multi- functional setups for depth, internal, and external measurements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the precision of gauge blocks?

They offer tolerance classes up to IT0 (±0.0005mm) and surface flatness ≤0.0002mm, ideal for calibrating CMMs, micrometers, and calipers in metrology labs.
