Gage Block Set

A Gage Block Set is a precision measuring tool used in various industries for dimensional inspection and calibration purposes. It is commonly used in manufacturing, engineering, and quality control processes.

Gage blocks are rectangular or square-shaped blocks made from high-quality steel, ceramic, or carbide materials. They are manufactured to extremely tight tolerances and have precise dimensions. Each block in a set has a specific length, and they are stacked together to create different measurement combinations.

Gage block sets typically include a range of blocks with various lengths, allowing for a wide range of measurements. The blocks are usually engraved with their nominal length and may also have a unique serial number for identification purposes.

These sets are used to calibrate and verify the accuracy of other measuring instruments, such as micrometers, calipers, and height gauges. They are also used for setting up machine tools, checking the flatness of surfaces, and measuring the parallelism and squareness of components.

Gage block sets are essential tools for ensuring precision and accuracy in dimensional measurements. They are widely used in industries where precise measurements are critical, such as aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.
