![Mitutoyo Ceramic Rectangular Gage Block, ASME Grade AS-1, 0.143\](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31lHgYHezIL._SL110_.jpg "Mitutoyo Ceramic Rectangular Gage Block, ASME Grade AS-1, 0.143\") |
The Mitutoyo grade AS-1 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. The grade AS-1 gage block is commonly used for 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 manufacturing gage applications. 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, and Johansson gages) are blocks used to calibrate measuring equipment...
