Ceramic gauge block 1.42 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 — compact, stable reference for precision work

A ceramic reference gauge block designed for high‑precision length standards and recurring calibration tasks in metrology and quality control.

• Grade 1 accuracy (DIN 861/1)
• Ceramic construction for thermal stability
• Compact 1.42 mm reference length
• Lightweight 2 g for easy handling

Dependable accuracy for routine and laboratory use

The gauge block offers Grade 1 conformity to DIN 861/1, which denotes a high standard of dimensional accuracy suitable for workshop calibration benches and laboratory reference sets. Manufactured from ceramic, the block benefits from inherently low thermal expansion and excellent surface hardness, which together preserve the nominal dimension over repeated use. Such stability reduces measurement drift and supports reproducible results when comparing master standards or setting up inspection fixtures.

Thermal and mechanical stability that reduces uncertainty

Because the component is produced in ceramic, thermal influence on the reference length is minimised compared with many metallic standards; this results in smaller temperature‑related length variation during short handling periods. The material's wear resistance maintains the measuring faces and thus the reference length, extending the service life of the standard and reducing the need for frequent rework of gauge sets. The 1.42 mm nominal dimension provides a compact, precise datum that integrates easily into comparator stacks or as a discrete reference for small features.

Practical handling and traceability in production environments

The small mass and compact geometry make the block easy to position and align on inspection tables or in gauge sets. Supplied as SKU M324.001.42, this reference is suitable where a durable, stable, and lightweight length standard is required. As a precisely manufactured component within the "Endmasse" category, it complements larger gauge sets and serves well in toolrooms, inspection labs and small‑parts assembly where repeatable short‑range standards are essential.

FAQ

What tolerance class does this gauge block meet?
The Ceramic gauge block 1.42 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 meets Grade 1 tolerances as specified in DIN 861/1, providing a reliable high‑precision reference for everyday workshop and laboratory use.

Is the material suitable for long‑term use on bench and in sets?
Yes, the ceramic construction offers good wear resistance and low thermal expansion, making the gauge block a durable choice for repeated handling and inclusion in gauge sets.

Can this block be used as a master for small parts inspection?
The compact 1.42 mm reference length is ideal as a master standard for small features and comparator checks where a short, stable datum is required.

What is the product code for ordering?
Order using SKU M324.001.42; this identifies the ceramic reference block with the 1.42 mm nominal length and Grade 1 specification.

How does ceramic compare with steel for gauge blocks?
Ceramic typically exhibits lower thermal expansion and strong surface hardness, which helps maintain the nominal dimension under frequent use; this makes it especially useful for small, critical reference lengths.
