Description

The MITUTOYO 611197-541 is a rectangular steel gage block measuring 0.7 inches in overall length, manufactured to ASME Grade AS-1 accuracy standards. Gage blocks are precision reference standards used to calibrate measurement instruments, set comparators, and verify dimensional accuracy on the shop floor or in the metrology lab. This block conforms to ASME standards and ships with a Certificate of Inspection, making it suitable for documented calibration programs. It is used by metrologists, machinists, and quality control technicians who require a reliable, traceable dimensional reference for high-precision work.

This gage block is intended for use in precision measurement applications across manufacturing, tooling, and inspection environments. It is well suited for setting up surface plates, calibrating micrometers and calipers, and establishing reference datums in both production and laboratory settings. The 0.7-inch size fills a common measurement increment in standard gage block sets and is frequently used as a standalone reference block for specific application requirements.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks should be handled by trained metrology or quality control personnel. Always clean contact surfaces with an appropriate solvent and lint-free cloth before use to prevent contamination and ensure accurate wringing. Store in a protective case away from temperature extremes to preserve dimensional stability. Do not drop or stack improperly, as surface damage will affect accuracy.
