Ceramic gauge block 5 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 — Metav IndustryLine

The Ceramic gauge block 5 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 serves as a compact, high-stability length standard for calibration tasks and repeatable setting operations in metrology benches and quality workshops.

• Grade 1 accuracy to DIN 861/1
• Low thermal expansion ceramic
• Wear-resistant measuring surface
• Compact 5 mm nominal size

Precision where repeatability counts

The block is specified to Grade 1 under DIN 861/1, offering a reference that helps reduce measurement uncertainty in everyday calibration and setting tasks. As a short, fixed-length standard the element provides a stable basis for verifying gauges, comparators and setting devices; the small nominal length of 5 mm makes it especially convenient for fine adjustments and quick verification sequences. The clear conformity to an established standard supports traceable quality-control routines and simplifies documentation in inspection protocols.

Material benefits that improve workflow

Manufactured from ceramic, the block combines low thermal expansion with a wear-resistant measuring surface, which together deliver long-term dimensional stability under normal workshop conditions. These material characteristics minimise length drift with temperature fluctuations and extend interval times between re-measurements or replacements. The non-corroding and chemically inert nature of the ceramic also reduces maintenance needs, so the standard remains reliable without special surface treatments or frequent refurbishment.

Practical use in the workshop and laboratory

The compact format and light weight support quick handling during setup and transfer between instruments. As a fixed-length reference it is well suited to daily check routines, gauge comparison and as a transfer standard for setting micrometres and other length-measuring instruments. The block’s simple geometry eases alignment on flat anvils and within fixtures, while the robust surface preserves contact quality over repeated use. For integration into inspection processes, the block complements both hand-held and bench-top measurement equipment, lending itself to systematic quality workflows without adding complexity.
