The inspection certificate specifies the deviation of each individual block from its nominal length. Gauge 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 gauge manufacturing process itself. Micrometre inspection gauge blocks are sized for use with a Mitutoyo Micro Checker (sold separately). Grade AS-1 gauge blocks are commonly used in workshop and inspection applications to calibrate fixtures and precision instruments, to inspect a variety of tools such as mounting tools, cutters, fixtures, and mechanical parts, and for gauge manufacturing applications. High-carbon, high-chrome steel has a high hardness for minimum deterioration, and is selected for its wear-resistance. Rectangular-shaped blocks provide accurate wringing. The nominal length of each block is measured in inches, and is indicated with laser-etched, black characters. The length of a gauge 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 each block for traceability. The set comes with a fitted wooden case for storage. The set includes a Mitutoyo inspection certificate [National Institute of Standards in Engineering (NIST)-traceable] that the blocks meets ASME B89.1.9-2002 standard for flatness, length, parallelism, and surface finish. Gauge blocks (also called gauge blocks, Hoke blocks, Jo blocks, slip gauges, and Johansson gauges) are blocks used to calibrate measuring equipment and to standardise the measurement of length in manufacturing industries. They are commonly made of precision-ground steel, ceramic, or carbide material, and have a square or rectangular base. Each block has a unique identification number. Length is in inch or millimetre measurement. They can be sold individually, and are also sold in sets with blocks of varying lengths. Gauge blocks can be wrung together to create a required length. Wringing is the process of lapping blocks together with a small amount of oil. They are standardised by grade, which refers to the tolerance or deviation of an individual block from its nominal length. Gauge block grades are defined for flatness, length, parallelism and surface finish. Some grades of gauge blocks meet standards such as ASME, Association for Iron and Steel (AIST), and International Organisation for Standards (ISO). Application and required level of accuracy dictate which grade of gauge block should be used. Some manufacturers provide an internally-generated certificate of inspection to verify that a gauge block meets grade standards. Gauge blocks can also go through a calibration certification process to verify measurement accuracy. Calibration is performed by an accredited facility. Gauge blocks are commonly recalibrated after use to ensure dimensional accuracy. If a gauge block does not meet calibration standards, it should no longer be used. Both a certificate of inspection and a calibration certificate specify the deviation from the nominal length. Mitutoyo manufactures precision measuring tools, metrology equipment, and systems. The company was founded in Tokyo in 1934 and formed Mitutoyo America Corporation in 1963, which is headquartered in Aurora, IL.
