Description

The MITUTOYO 611192-531 is a rectangular steel gage block measuring 0.2 inches in length, manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy standards. Gage blocks serve as dimensional reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set up machine tools, and verify part dimensions on the shop floor or in a metrology lab. This block meets ASME standards and ships with a Certificate of Inspection, confirming its dimensional accuracy at the time of manufacture. It is a single-piece reference block suited for precision measurement work where tight dimensional tolerances must be verified or transferred.

This gage block is used in tool rooms, quality control labs, and production environments where traceable dimensional standards are required. Typical applications include calibrating micrometers, calipers, and height gauges, as well as setting comparators and surface plate inspection setups. The 0.2-inch size fills a common slot in gage block sets or serves as a standalone reference block. Machinists, metrologists, and quality technicians working in both industrial and precision manufacturing environments rely on blocks of this grade for demanding inspection tasks.

Key Features

Grade 0 accuracy per ASME standards for high-precision dimensional reference
Steel construction provides durability and wear resistance for shop and lab use
0.2-inch nominal length with five-decimal precision tolerance
Includes Certificate of Inspection confirming dimensional conformance
Rectangular form compatible with standard gage block wringing and stacking techniques

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision reference standard for use with standard rectangular gage block accessories, holders, and wringing fixtures conforming to ASME gage block specifications.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks should be handled by a qualified metrologist or trained quality technician. Store blocks in a clean, temperature-stable environment and allow them to thermally stabilize before use to prevent measurement errors caused by thermal expansion. Clean contact surfaces thoroughly before wringing blocks together, and avoid sliding or dropping blocks to prevent damage to lapped surfaces. Inspect the Certificate of Inspection and retain it for traceability documentation as required by your quality system.
