Definition
Gauge blocks (slip gauges) are highly precise, rectangular measuring bodies
with precisely defined lengths. In metrology and quality assurance, they are used to calibrate measuring devices, set up machines, and perform comparative/setting measurements. All specifications are laid down in DIN 861 and DIN EN ISO 3650.
Material
Gauge blocks are available in various materials - we offer steel, ceramic, and tungsten carbide. The table below compares the different properties.
| Property | Steel | Ceramic | Tungsten Carbide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coefficient of thermal expansion | 11.5 ⋅ 10-6 / K | 9.3 ⋅ 10-6 / K | 4.5 ⋅ 10-6 / K |
| Vickers hardness approx. | 800 | 1350 | 1600 |
| Thermal conductivity | ●●○○○ | ●●●●● | ●●●○○ |
| Wear resistance | ●●●○○ | ●●●●● | ●●●●○ |
| Wringing properties | ●●●●● | ●●●○○ | ●●●●● |
| Corrosion resistance | ●●○○○ | ●●●●● | ●●●●○ |
| Long-term stability | ●●●○○ | ●●●●○ | ●●●●● |
Accuracy Classes
Gauge blocks are manufactured in different accuracy classes or tolerance classes, which indicate how precisely the dimension is manufactured. In addition to the most common classes 2, 1, and 0, there is class K (calibration class), which is mainly used for reference measurements.
The higher the number, the greater the permissible deviation from the nominal dimension. The choice of accuracy class depends on the application and the required tolerances in the respective measuring process.
Class 2
Mostly used as "working standards" at testing stations in manufacturing areas and for setting measuring tools and fixtures.
Class 1
Used for setting and calibrating gauges and measuring instruments in measuring rooms and at testing stations in manufacturing areas with high accuracy.
Class 0
Used for high-precision test equipment monitoring and calibration in air-conditioned measuring rooms.

Notes on Use
When using gauge blocks, some important tips must be observed to maintain their high accuracy and avoid measurement errors.
Before Use
- Use in a thermally stable environment (ideally 20°C)
- Handle as briefly as possible or work with gloves - body heat from hands can lead to thermal expansion
- Clean with a soft cloth; gauge blocks must be absolutely clean and grease-free when used
- Do not use alcohol or washing benzene for cleaning, as corrosion may occur.
After Use
- Rust protection treatment with corrosion protection oil
- Store in case/box
Wringing
A gauge block connector can be used for large gauge block combinations. From 125 mm length, gauge blocks have two bores with which they can be securely fixed in the holder.
Examples of Application
- Checking or calibrating an outside micrometer
- Setting for shoulder turning on the lathe
- Setting the depth stop on the drilling machine
