The Mitutoyo 516-series Grade AS-1 Ceramic Rectangular Metric Wear Gage Block Set includes a set of rectangular-shaped, white ceramic (CERA) wear gage blocks with nominal length engraved in millimeters on each, and is supplied with a Mitutoyo inspection certificate that states that the blocks meet American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) B89.1.9-2002 grade AS-1 standard for flatness, length, parallelism, and surface finish. The inspection certificate specifies the deviation of each 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.Wear gage blocks are wrung with frequently used gage blocks to prevent wear. Grade AS-1 gage 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 gage manufacturing applications. Ceramic blocks are harder than steel, and resist corrosion, abrasion, and burrs, withstand high temperatures without melting (high thermal expansion resistance), and provide dimensional stability. Rectangular-shaped blocks provide accurate wringing. The nominal length of each block is measured in millimeters, 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 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.G...
