Ceramic gauge block 3.5 mm, Grade 1 (DIN 861/1) — Precision reference, ceramic material

The Ceramic gauge block 3.5 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 is a compact precision standard intended for calibration, inspection and the assembly of reference stacks in workshop and laboratory metrology.

• Precision grade 1 per DIN 861/1
• Ceramic material with thermal stability
• Nominal length 3.5 mm for reference stacks
• Lightweight 0.007 kg for easy handling

Consistent reference accuracy for process control

A compact reference block such as this provides a stable datum for short-range measurement tasks. The combination of Grade 1 tolerance according to DIN 861/1 and the intrinsically stable ceramic substrate reduces measurement uncertainty when used as a single standard or as part of a stack. This increases repeatability in routine quality checks and helps maintain production tolerances without frequent recalibration, supporting faster decisions in inspection workflows.

Material advantages that reduce environment‑related drift

Ceramic construction offers low thermal expansion and high wear resistance compared with many metals, which translates into thermal stability and minimal wear under typical workshop conditions. The material’s resistance to corrosion and surface degradation preserves the block’s measuring faces, so dimensional integrity is retained over many cycles. These properties lower the long‑term cost of ownership by extending service intervals and reducing the need for corrective adjustments.

Compact handling and integration into metrology kits

With a nominal length of 3.5 mm and a weight of approximately 0.007 kg, this precision block is easy to include in a gauge block set or to carry for on‑bench use. Its small footprint is ideal for creating reference stacks for fixture set‑up, machine probing checks or calibration of small parts. Correct handling—cleaning measuring faces before stacking and avoiding shocks—ensures optimal performance and preserves the block as a reliable reference in daily measurement routines.
