56789

Overview

Gauge blocks, also known as gage blocks, are precision-ground and lapped measuring standards used in manufacturing and engineering to calibrate measuring equipment and for direct measurement of lengths. They are typically made of steel or ceramic and are used to ensure the accuracy of measuring tools and machinery setups.

FAQ

What should I consider when buying used gauge blocks?

Check for wear and tear, flatness, and surface finish. Ensure the set is complete and verify the accuracy with calibration certificates if available.

How do I ensure safe shipping of gauge blocks?

Use secure packaging that protects against shock and environmental factors. Gauge blocks should be stored in their cases during shipment to prevent damage.

What is the maintenance schedule for gauge blocks?

Regularly clean gauge blocks with a lint-free cloth and store them in a dry, temperature-controlled environment. Periodically check and calibrate them to maintain their accuracy.
