About Mitutoyo Ceramic Rectangular Gage Block, ASME Grade
The Mitutoyo grade 00 rectangular gage block is made of ceramic, has its nominal length engraved in inches, 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 00 gage block is commonly used within a controlled environment as a reference standard for setting high-precision measuring equipment, to calibrate low-grade gage blocks, and to inspect the accuracy of gages, mechanical parts, and tools. 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 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. Gage blocks (also called gauge blocks, Hoke blocks, Jo blocks, slip gages, an
