Description

STEEL BLOCKS: are made from high carbon high chrome steel to reduce wear and corrosion. Precision ground and lapped to provide excellent wringing characteristics. Thermally stabilized to reduce changes in gage block length over time. Laser-etched with individual serial number for traceability. A certificate of inspection to ensure each block has been inspected.
CERAMIC BLOCKS: Made of Ceramic materials with superior surface quality, that were developed by ultra precision machining techniques solve all problems that the steel gage block had. Superior hardness, thermal expansion and wear characteristics.
CRO (Chromium carbide) BLOCKS: Outwear regular steel and ceramic. They will not corrode and are very stable and accurate, and have exceptional “wringing” qualities.

RECTANGULAR gage blocks are used individually or “wrung” together to achieve desired dimension. Available individually or in sets, Inch or Metric.
SQUARE gage blocks have a center hole that can be “wrung” together with a optional tie rod and held together to achieve desired dimension. Available individually or in set, Inch or Metrics.
