Ceramic gauge block 1.46 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 (M324.001.46) — Metav IndustryLine

The ceramic gauge block 1.46 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 is a compact reference standard designed for precise length comparisons and calibration tasks in workshop and laboratory metrology.

• Grade 1 accuracy per DIN 861/1
• Stable ceramic construction for consistent lengths
• Nominal length 1.46 mm for fine reference checks
• Mass approximately 2 g for easy handling

Compact reference for precise comparative measurement

The ceramic reference is intended for situations that demand a stable, repeatable short-length standard. With a nominal length of 1.46 mm and a Grade 1 classification according to DIN 861/1, this block supports routine verification of micrometres, calipers and comparator setups. The compact format reduces the risk of bending or handling error during short-range checks and permits straightforward placement in fixtures or between measurement jaws. The construction from ceramic provides material benefits that assist in maintaining the reference length under normal workshop conditions.

Material choice that supports stability and wear resistance

A ceramic gauge block is selected for its dimensional stability and low susceptibility to surface wear compared with some metals; these properties help preserve the reference dimension over many measurement cycles. The material choice reduces sensitivity to small contact abrasions, which supports consistent performance across repeated comparisons. This makes the product particularly suitable as a short-length reference in calibration benches and inspection routines where longevity and low maintenance are priorities.

Practicality for workshop and laboratory workflows

The small mass (about 0.002 kg) and compact size simplify handling and integration into existing metrology routines. The block’s format suits quick comparative checks, go/no-go testing and as a transfer standard when setting up instruments for jobs that require high repeatability rather than long-range measurement. The clear marking with SKU (M324.001.46) and GTIN ensures traceability when logging standards in a quality system, while the lightweight nature aids safe storage and transport between workstations.
