Ceramic gauge block 3 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 — Metav IndustryLine precision gauge block

The Ceramic gauge block 3 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 is a compact, dimensionally stable reference standard designed for calibration and precision setting in metrology and workshop processes.

• Grade 1 accuracy according to DIN 861/1
• Low thermal expansion ceramic body
• Nominal 3 mm reference for precision setups

Exceptional stability for repeatable measurements

A Grade 1 reference provides a verified tolerance class under DIN 861/1, ensuring measurement reproducibility in calibration chains and routine checks. The ceramic composition contributes to low thermal expansion, reducing length variation with temperature shifts and therefore lowering measurement drift when compared with many metallic standards. For applications where repeatability is critical—such as gauge calibration, comparator set‑ups or master reference inspections—this reference block offers a stable baseline that supports consistent decision-making and process reliability.

Compact form that integrates easily into workflows

The small 3 mm nominal size and feather-light mass suit confined workstations, gauge nests and transfer standards where space and quick handling are priorities. Its compactness speeds up set-up times on optical comparators, height gauges and comparator stands while preserving the precision expected from a Grade 1 reference. Where throughput and traceability matter, the block’s form factor minimises fixturing effort and simplifies handling in repetitive inspection routines without sacrificing measurement confidence.

Durable ceramic construction for long service life

Crafted from ceramic, the block resists corrosion and surface wear better than typical steel counterparts, extending interval periods between reprofiling or replacement. The intrinsic hardness and dimensional stability of the material make it suited to repeated contact measurements with minimal surface alteration, thereby protecting the baseline accuracy of the reference. When supplied with a calibration record, the block supports documented quality systems and helps maintain audit-ready inspection practices.
