What are gauge blocks used for? Gauge blocks are used to calibrate engineering equipment, (e.g. micrometers and Vernier calipers). Higher grade gauge blocks can also be used to calibrate other gauge blocks of the same or lower grade.
How are gauge blocks calibration?
NIST master gauge blocks are calibrated by interferometry in accordance with the definition of gauge block length. Each master block carries a wringing layer with it, and this wringing layer is transferred to every block calibrated at NIST by mechanical comparison techniques.
How often should gauge blocks be calibrated?
2) HOW OFTEN SHOULD GAGE BLOCKS BE CALIBRATED? Industry consensus is that gage blocks be calibrated every 1 to 3 years. Calibration intervals may be shortened or lengthened as needed. The frequency of calibration is determined by the user with consideration given to usage, care, and desired accuracy.
