Ceramic gauge block 21 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 — Metav IndustryLine

The Ceramic gauge block 21 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 serves as a compact, thermally stable length reference for workshop measurement, calibration tasks and assembly checks.

• Thermally stable ceramic reference
• Grade 1 accuracy (DIN 861/1)
• Compact 21 mm nominal length

Stable reference for repeatable measurements

The Grade 1 designation in accordance with DIN 861/1 marks this slip gauge as a reliable length reference suitable for workshop calibration and comparative measurement workflows. The Grade 1 tolerance ensures consistent performance when setting gauges, verifying micrometre adjustments or establishing short reference standards on the shop floor. As a compact reference, the 21 mm nominal dimension reduces handling error and supports quick, accurate comparisons without extensive set‑up time.

Material benefits that support metrology routines

Made from ceramic, the block offers low thermal expansion and high surface hardness compared with many metallic references. These properties reduce length changes due to temperature shifts in normal workshop conditions and enhance wear resistance during repeated use. The non‑corroding nature of the material helps preserve surface integrity over time, contributing to a stable reference that maintains its geometry under typical handling and storage conditions. Appropriate handling—cleaning with a soft cloth and protecting the faces from impact—will prolong service life and measurement reliability.

Practical integration and handling in the workshop

The compact 21 mm format and light mass (approx. 0.042 kg) make this reference simple to incorporate into daily procedures, whether used alone for single‑point checks or as part of a set of slip gauges. The block is suitable for establishing short reference lengths, setting comparators and calibrating small instruments. Its ceramic composition also minimises magnetic interaction and surface oxidation, simplifying maintenance routines. For traceability and logistic integration the product is delivered with standard identification (GTIN) and clear labelling to assist inventory management and quality documentation.
