Block Gauges

Gauge blocks are a necessity in any testing environment that requires linear dimensional accuracy and/or calibration of measuring tools, such as micrometers and calipers. Each block is engraved with an individual serial number and the size of the gauge for calibration purposes. The purpose of gauge blocks is to provide linear dimensions known to within a given tolerance.

Block Gauges

The requirements of gauge blocks are,

The actual size must be known The faces must be parallel The surface must have a smooth finish The surfaces must be flat

The materials gauge blocks are made from are selected for, hardness, temperature stability, corrosion resistance, and high quality finish.

How to select gauge blocks for an application

5.324 -1.004 = 4.320 -1.32 = 3.000 - 3.000 = 0.000

Sine bars

A sine bar is a tool used to measure angles in metalworking. It consists of a hardened, precision ground body with two precision ground cylinders fixed at each end, the rollers are positioned at a precise distance and the top of the bar is parallel to the center line of the rollers. The dimension between the two rollers is chosen to be a whole number (for ease of later calculations)

Combination Set Applications

Measuring angles 90 and 45 angles. Determining flatness Measuring the center of a circular bar. Protractor head allows angles to be set and measured between the base and ruler. A rudimentary level for approximating level surfaces is incorporated in the protractor and also the 45 holder.
