Gauge blocks and gauge block sets
Gauge blocks and gauge block sets are basic precision measurement tools used as length references for calibration of measuring tools, setting measurements and quality assurance. They provide standardized and highly accurate measurement lengths for industrial, machine shop and laboratory environments. The product group includes both complete gauge block sets and individual gauge blocks, which allows for flexible use, complementing sets and purchasing individual reference lengths as needed. The range includes metric and inch gauge blocks, so the group is also suitable for international and multi-system measurement environments. The gauge blocks are made of high-quality steel or ceramic material.
Steel gauge blocks offer a traditional and widely used solution for general calibration and measurement work. Ceramic gauge blocks are particularly wear-resistant, lightweight and corrosion-resistant, and are excellently suited for demanding environments and long-term precision measurement. Most gauge blocks and gauge block sets meet the requirements of EN ISO 3650 and are supplied with an Inspection Certificate, making them suitable for quality control, auditing and calibration use. The sets are typically supplied in a wooden case or protected storage box, which protects the pieces and facilitates safe storage.
Typical applications
- Calibration of calipers, micrometers and other measuring instruments
- Setting measurements and checking reference lengths
- Quality control and delivery measurements
- Supplementing gauge block sets with individual pieces
- Use of metric and inch measurement systems
