Ceramic gauge block 11.5 mm, Grade 1 (DIN 861/1) — Metav IndustryLine

The Ceramic gauge block 11.5 mm, Grade 1 (DIN 861/1) is a compact, high‑stability length standard intended for precision inspection, calibration benches and laboratory reference stacks.

• Ceramic material for corrosion resistance
• Grade 1 accuracy per DIN 861/1
• Nominal length 11.5 mm for compact references
• Low weight 0.02 kg for easy handling

Consistent reference accuracy for inspection and calibration

A Grade 1 length standard certified to DIN 861/1 provides a reliable baseline for comparative measurements and tool setting. The compact 11.5 mm nominal length makes this block ideal where a short reference is required without sacrificing metrological reliability. As a stable artefact for gauge stacks, the block helps to maintain traceable measurement chains and reduces the need for frequent re‑adjustment of bespoke fixtures. The combination of a compact form and class‑rated accuracy supports faster inspection cycles and more predictable quality workflows.

Material benefits that reduce measurement uncertainty

Manufactured from ceramic, the block offers pronounced corrosion‑resistant behaviour and excellent surface hardness, which together preserve measuring faces under repeated use. Ceramics typically show low thermal expansion, which lowers short‑term length variation when ambient temperatures fluctuate; this supports consistent readings on the workshop floor and in controlled laboratory conditions. The wear characteristics of the material also contribute to long service life, so the artefact remains a stable reference over extended calibration intervals.

Practical handling and integration into metrology routines

The compact form factor and light mass simplify handling and stacking within a gauge block set or master reference stack. Gentle cleaning with a lint‑free cloth and storage in a dry, dust‑free environment prevent surface contamination and preserve the measuring faces. For traceable workflows, the block functions as a dependable standard for comparative checks, instrument verification and as a base for setting micrometre and comparator references. Metav’s logistics and quality filter in Emmerich ensure consistent availability for industry and workshop supply chains.

FAQ

What level of accuracy does this gauge block provide?
The Ceramic gauge block 11.5 mm, Grade 1 (DIN 861/1) is manufactured to Grade 1 tolerances under DIN 861/1, providing a high‑precision reference suitable for standard inspection and calibration tasks.

Why choose a ceramic block rather than a steel block?
Ceramic construction offers better corrosion resistance and lower thermal expansion than many steels, so the gauge block retains its length more stably under varying ambient conditions and repeated handling.

How should the block be cleaned and stored to preserve accuracy?
Clean the block with a soft, lint‑free cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners and strong solvents. Store in a clean, dry environment away from humidity and contaminants to keep the measuring faces pristine.

Can this block be used in a master gauge stack for comparative measurements?
Yes, the compact 11.5 mm block is intended for use within gauge stacks and as a compact reference when building calibrated length standards for comparators and setting fixtures.

Is the block suitable for workshop use or only for laboratories?
The robustness and corrosion resistance of the ceramic material make the gauge block suitable for both workshop inspection benches and controlled laboratory environments where a compact, class‑rated reference is required.
