Metav IndustryLine Ceramic gauge block M324.040 — 40 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1

A Ceramic gauge block 40 mm, Grade 1 DIN 861/1 designed as a stable reference for length checks, assembly setting and calibration procedures in industrial metrology

• Ceramic construction for thermal stability
• Grade 1 accuracy to DIN 861/1
• Nominal length 40 mm for compact standards
• Low weight 0.076 kg for easy handling

Stable reference where dimensional consistency matters

The ceramic composition of this precision block provides notably low thermal expansion compared with many metals, which translates into reduced length variation when ambient temperature shifts occur. As a result, this compact 40 mm reference offers consistent repeatability for short-range comparisons and quick checks on production rigs. The use of ceramic also contributes to excellent wear resistance, so the standard maintains its form through repeated contact with measuring anvils.

Accuracy and conformity that support routine calibration

Manufactured to Grade 1 according to DIN 861/1, this precision block fulfils an established industrial standard for gauge blocks and length references. Compliance with the standard supports traceable measurement processes and simplifies documentation in quality workflows. The small footprint of this block makes it suitable as a bench-top reference in inspection stations, where a reproducible nominal length is required for functional tests and gauge comparisons.

Practical advantages for the workshop and metrology lab

The compact format and light weight (0.076 kg) facilitate rapid placement during inspection routines and reduce the mechanical load on fixtures and holders. The non-metallic surface minimises the risk of corrosion and avoids galvanic interactions when used near sensitive parts; this makes the block a practical choice for mixed-material environments. Supplied as a single, robust length standard, it integrates well into calibration sets or as a standalone control artefact for process monitoring.

Reliability, provenance and after-sales transparency

Sourcing this precision block from a European quality filter like Metav strengthens supply-chain reliability for small and medium-sized workshops. The brand’s experience in metrology distribution underpins consistent stock availability and clear delivery channels across Europe. For users requiring additional documentation or integration advice, Metav Werkzeuge offers consultancy and product guidance tailored to industrial measurement tasks.
