Description
The MITUTOYO 611172-531 is a rectangular steel gage block measuring 0.132 inches in overall length, manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy in accordance with ASME standards. Gage blocks are precision length reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, verify part dimensions, and set up comparators and surface plates. This block is constructed from steel for durability and dimensional stability. A Certificate of Inspection is included, confirming the block meets its stated Grade 0 tolerance requirements. Grade 0 blocks are suited for laboratory and toolroom calibration work where tighter accuracy is required compared to Grade AS-1 or Grade AS-2 blocks.
This gage block is intended for use in metrology labs, quality control departments, and toolroom environments. Machinists, quality technicians, and metrologists use blocks of this size when building gage block stacks or performing single-dimension reference setups. The 0.132-inch size fills a specific increment in a set or stack configuration and is appropriate for both incoming inspection and in-process measurement tasks.
Key Features
- Grade 0 accuracy per ASME standards for tight-tolerance calibration applications
- Steel construction provides long-term dimensional stability and wear resistance
- 0.132-inch nominal length for precise stack or single-block reference use
- Includes Certificate of Inspection for traceability documentation
- Rectangular form compatible with standard gage block accessories and holders
Compatibility
Designed as an individual rectangular gage block suitable for use with standard gage block sets, holders, and accessories conforming to ASME gage block specifications.
Installation Notes
Gage blocks are handled and wrung by metrology technicians and quality control personnel. Keep blocks clean and lightly oiled when stored to prevent corrosion. Wring blocks together on a clean, stable surface and avoid dropping or striking them, as impact can alter calibration. Store in the provided case away from temperature extremes to maintain dimensional accuracy.
