Ceramic gauge block 17 mm – Grade 1 reference standard with DIN 861/1

Ceramic gauge block 17 mm delivers a compact, thermally stable reference for dimensional checks and comparator setups in production and quality inspections.

High-stability ceramic material
Grade 1 accuracy (DIN 861/1)
Exact nominal length 17 mm
Low weight 32 g

Precision where repeatability counts

The Grade 1 classification according to DIN 861/1 designates this block as a workshop-grade reference suitable for routine verification and set building. Its 17 mm nominal length provides a defined reference point for gauge sets and length standards, reducing cumulative error when used in combinations. By selecting a block with defined geometric quality, measurement chains become more reproducible and corrective actions can be taken sooner, improving process control and lowering scrap rates.

Material benefits that reduce drift and wear

Made from ceramic, this block offers low thermal expansion compared with many metals, which translates into greater stability under varying workshop temperatures. The surface hardness and wear resistance of the material maintain contact integrity over repeated use, while corrosion resistance ensures long service life with minimal maintenance. These material properties support consistent contact conditions during calibration and comparative measurements, so readings remain dependable between inspection intervals.

Compact handling and practical workshop use

At just 32 g, the compact form factor makes this reference standard easy to position in tight inspection rigs or alongside other standards in a set. The nominal size is convenient for rapid set assembly and storage without excessive bulk. The block’s clean, defined faces simplify setup on comparators, length gauges or simple jig checks, enabling faster inspection cycles and a smoother workflow at the production bench.

Built for dependable quality systems

This ceramic gauge block is designed to integrate into existing quality routines and calibration plans as a stable short-length reference. The combination of Grade 1 accuracy and the ceramic material supports consistent comparative measurements and traceable inspection practices. For operations seeking dependable reference pieces without specialist handling needs, the block is a pragmatic choice that reinforces measurement confidence on the shop floor.

FAQ

What tolerance or accuracy does this block provide?
The block is specified as Grade 1 (DIN 861/1), which defines its permissible geometrical deviations for use as a workshop reference.

Is the block suitable for temperature‑sensitive comparisons?
Yes — the ceramic material exhibits low thermal expansion and is therefore well suited to comparative measurements where ambient variation might otherwise introduce drift.

Can this block be combined with other lengths to build sets?
The 17 mm nominal length is intended for combination with other standards; it serves as a compact, stable element when constructing gauge stacks or reference sets.

What handling or storage is recommended to preserve accuracy?
Store the block in a clean, dry environment and avoid impacts to the measurement faces; the ceramic surface is wear‑resistant but benefits from cautious handling to keep faces pristine.

Does the product include a traceability label or serial reference?
Product labelling and identification follow standard manufacturer practice; for full traceability options and documentation, please consult Metav Werkzeuge when ordering.
