Ceramic Gauge Block 1.6 mm, Grade 1 (DIN 861/1) — Metav IndustryLine

The Ceramic Gauge Block 1.6 mm is a compact precision end measure designed as a stable reference for dimensional inspection, calibration jigs and laboratory use in metrology and quality control.

• Low thermal expansion ceramic
• Grade 1 accuracy to DIN 861/1
• Precise 1.6 mm nominal size
• Lightweight and corrosion-resistant

Reliable reference for dimensional control

Made from ceramic, this compact gauge block serves as a stable reference standard where temperature-induced drift must be minimised. The block’s Grade 1 tolerance (DIN 861/1) provides a clearly defined accuracy class suitable for routine calibration checks and comparator reference tasks. The modest nominal size of 1.6 mm and the low mass contribute to fast temperature equalisation, which reduces waiting times and improves throughput in repetitive inspection work. The result is a dependable, repeatable datum that simplifies verification workflows and speeds up decision-making in production control.

Stable performance across changing conditions

The inherent material properties of ceramic deliver high thermal stability and good wear resistance, so dimensional integrity is preserved over extended use and handling. Where steel standards might show measurable expansion under small temperature differences, this end measure maintains closer conformity to nominal size, reducing measurement uncertainty in shop-floor environments or in laboratory benches without strict climate control. As a consequence, process capability benefits from fewer false rejects and more consistent calibration intervals — a clear rational advantage for organised inspection regimes.

Compact handling with clear traceability

The compact geometry and low weight make the block easy to handle and integrate into set-ups for gauge calibration, fixture checking or as part of a master set. Its nominal dimensions and clear grade marking support straightforward traceability when documenting quality records or issuing certificates. The combination of a robust ceramic surface and corrosion resistance reduces the need for frequent replacement, favouring long-term economy and predictable maintenance planning. For workshops and inspection rooms that require compact yet reliable standards, this end measure offers an efficient balance of precision and durability.
