Ceramic gauge block 18 mm, Grade 1 (DIN 861/1) — Metav IndustryLine

A Ceramic gauge block 18 mm, Grade 1 serving as a compact, high‑accuracy length standard for calibration, quality control and dimensional inspection tasks

• Grade 1 accuracy to DIN 861/1
• Wear‑resistant ceramic construction
• Nominal length 18 mm for reference stacks
• Compact and lightweight at 34 g

Reliable reference for calibration and inspection

The Ceramic gauge block 18 mm, Grade 1 is designed as a stable reference for routine calibration and comparative measurement. Conforming to DIN 861/1 and specified as Grade 1, it provides the dimensional precision required for traceable length standards without excess bulk. As a compact length standard, it supports efficient set assembly and straightforward integration into existing inspection routines, contributing to consistent measurement outcomes.

Material advantages that reduce maintenance

Manufactured from ceramic, this block combines high surface hardness with wear‑resistant behaviour, which extends the service life compared with softer materials. The ceramic body is dimensionally stable and resists common workshop influences that can affect steel gauges, making it suitable for frequent handling. These material characteristics translate into fewer replacements and lower life‑cycle intervention, preserving the original calibration state for longer periods.

Practical handling and workflow benefits

Weighing just 0.034 kg, the block’s compact and lightweight format makes it practical for portable gauge sets and rapid comparison tasks on the shop floor. As a single, precise reference standard, it complements modular gauge stacks and supports repeatable inspection sequences. The combination of small footprint and Grade 1 tolerance helps to speed up routine checks while maintaining the reliability expected in calibration environments.
