About Mitutoyo Ceramic Rectangular Gage Block, ASME Grade

The Mitutoyo grade 0 rectangular gage block is made of ceramic, has its nominal length engraved in inches, and is supplied with a Mitutoyo inspection certificate that states that the block meets American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B89.1.9-2002 grade standard for flatness, length, parallelism, and surface finish. The inspection certificate specifies the deviation of the individual block from its nominal length. Gage blocks are commonly used to calibrate fixtures and precision instruments in workshop, inspection, and dimensional metrology applications, to inspect tools such as mounting tools, cutters, fixtures, and mechanical parts, and in the gage manufacturing process itself. This grade 0 gage block is commonly used in workshop and inspection applications to calibrate and inspect mechanical parts and tools, to verify the accuracy of plug and snap gages, and to set electronic measuring devices. It is made of ceramic which resists corrosion, abrasion, and burrs, withstands high temperatures without melting (high thermal expansion resistance), and provides dimensional stability. This gage block has a rectangular base for accurate wringing. Nominal length is measured in inches, and is indicated on the block with laser-etched, black characters. The length of a gage block is usually slightly shorter than its stamped nominal length, to account for the thin layer of oil or wring film used when two or more blocks are wrung together. An identification number is laser-etched on the block for traceability. The block has a depth of 0.355 inches. It comes in a carrying case with a padded, formed interior. This gage block is supplied with a Mitutoyo inspection certificate [National Institute of Standards in Engineering (NIST)-traceable] that the block meets ASME B89.1.9-2002 standard for flatness, length, parallelism, and surface finish.
