Ceramic gauge block 5.5 mm — Grade 1 (DIN 861/1) by Metav IndustryLine

The ceramic gauge block 5.5 mm (Grade 1, DIN 861/1) is a compact precision reference designed for dimensional verification and setting tasks in workshops and calibration benches.

• Grade 1 accuracy to DIN 861/1
• Low thermal expansion ceramic
• Compact 5.5 mm nominal size

Reliable metrology for repeatable measurement results

The Grade 1 designation according to DIN 861/1 guarantees a defined tolerance band that makes this gauge block an appropriate choice for routine reference tasks where measurement certainty matters. As a small-format reference, the 5.5 mm nominal dimension offers precise step-setting capabilities and convenient integration into existing gauge sets. The manufacturing grade ensures that deviations remain within the expected limits for Grade 1 standards, supporting consistent process control and reducing time spent on rework or adjustment.

Ceramic material benefits for stable references

Manufactured from ceramic, the block delivers dimensional stability and wear resistance that outperform many metallic counterparts in daily use. The low thermal expansion of the ceramic substrate reduces temperature-induced drift during short-term handling and ambient changes, so measurements remain reliable without elaborate climate control. Ceramic also resists corrosion and is electrically non-conductive, which simplifies storage and handling in mixed-material environments while preserving the measuring faces for extended service life.

Practical handling and integration into workshop routines

The compact nominal size and lightweight construction (approx. 0.01 kg) make the block easy to position for comparison, instrument set-up or calibration tasks. As a small precision reference standard, it is suitable for setting micrometres, checking caliper zero points and assembling gauge stacks. Careful handling and clean wringing practices preserve surface quality and ensure reproducibility. For procurement and traceable supply, this block is available from Metav IndustryLine and fits directly into standard gauge assortments used in quality departments and production support.

FAQ

What accuracy class does this ceramic gauge block meet?
The ceramic gauge block meets Grade 1 accuracy according to DIN 861/1, providing a defined tolerance suitable for routine reference measurements with the Metav IndustryLine M324.005.5.

Is the ceramic block suitable for use in a standard gauge set?
Yes. The 5.5 mm nominal size is compatible with standard gauge stacks and can be integrated into existing sets for setting micrometres, calipers and comparators.

How should the gauge block be handled to preserve its measuring faces?
Handle the Metav IndustryLine ceramic gauge block with clean, lint‑free gloves or tweezers, avoid impact, and store it in a dry, dust‑free container to maintain surface quality and repeatability.

Can the block be used for contact measurements at elevated temperatures?
Ceramic offers low thermal expansion compared with many metals, improving short‑term thermal stability; however, high‑precision measurements should always consider ambient and contact temperature control for best results.

What information identifies the product for ordering or inventory?
Order using SKU M324.005.5 or GTIN 4054469142999 to ensure the correct Metav IndustryLine ceramic gauge block is supplied.
