Ceramic gauge block 16 mm — Grade 1 reference (DIN 861/1) by Metav IndustryLine

A Ceramic gauge block 16 mm, Grade 1, designed as a robust length reference for workshop calibration and precision setting tasks

Ceramic material for thermal stability
Grade 1 accuracy to DIN 861/1
Wear-resistant and chemically inert
Compact 16 mm reference standard

Consistent reference accuracy for routine calibration

The Ceramic gauge block 16 mm, Grade 1 serves as a stable reference for length checks and comparative measurements in toolrooms and calibration benches. Manufactured to Güte 1 (Grade 1) according to DIN 861/1, the block provides a well-defined tolerance band suitable for workshop-level verification and equipment set-up. The compact 16 mm nominal length, combined with a low mass and precise finish, facilitates repeatable contact with comparators and setting devices while reducing the risk of handling-induced deviation. As a consequence, measurement routines become more predictable and downtime for readjustment is minimised.

Material benefits: thermal and chemical stability that supports accuracy

Made from high-grade ceramic, this reference piece offers markedly lower thermal expansion compared with steel, delivering thermal stability during short transfers between workstations or within temperature-controlled rooms. The material’s chemical inertness and resistance to corrosion reduce surface degradation over time, so the reference dimension remains reliable under normal workshop conditions. Its wear-resistant surface preserves gauge integrity over repeated use, keeping re-measurement intervals longer and the need for frequent replacement lower than with softer materials.

Practical handling and integration into quality workflows

The small footprint and light weight make the block easy to place into fixture sets or to use as a reference master when setting micrometers, callipers or comparators. The compact form supports quick alignment and reduces the chance of leverage errors during contact measurement. Identifiers such as SKU M324.016 and GTIN 4054469143200 enable traceable inventory handling and integration into asset management systems. For routine inspection tasks where a stable, non‑magnetic reference is preferred, this block offers a pragmatic balance between portability and metrological performance.

FAQ

What accuracy class does this gauge block offer?
The ceramic gauge block is manufactured to Grade 1 (Güte 1) according to DIN 861/1, providing the dimensional control expected for workshop and calibration-bench reference standards.

Why choose a ceramic gauge block over a steel reference?
Ceramic offers lower thermal expansion and chemical inertness, so the block maintains its dimension with less influence from short-term temperature shifts and resists corrosion better than many steel references.

For which applications is this 16 mm reference suitable?
The 16 mm block is intended for routine calibration, setting and comparative measurements in toolrooms, inspection benches and when establishing master references for micrometers and callipers.

Is this gauge block easy to integrate into an inventory system?
Yes; the product is supplied with identifiers such as SKU M324.016 and GTIN 4054469143200, which assist in traceability and stock control.

How should the ceramic gauge block be handled and stored?
Handle the block with care to avoid impact and grit; store it in a clean, dry container away from abrasive materials to preserve the wear‑resistant surface and maintain dimensional stability.
