Gauge Blocks Overview:
Gauge blocks are precision tools essential for calibrating and setting up measuring devices. They are made from materials like steel, tungsten carbide, and ceramic, each offering unique properties that influence their performance and application suitability.

Material Properties:
Distinct characteristics of each material include:

• Steel: Offers high heat conductivity, good wear resistance, and satisfactory corrosion resistance.
• Tungsten Carbide: Features low heat conductivity, very good wear resistance, and good corrosion resistance.
• Ceramic: Provides very low heat conductivity, excellent wear resistance, and excellent corrosion resistance.

Permissible Deviations and Tolerances:
The document specifies permissible deviations (te) and tolerances (tv) for gauge blocks as per DIN EN ISO 3650 standards, with detailed values for various size ranges.

Calibration:
Gauge blocks can be supplied with a works calibration certificate or a DKD calibration certificate from an accredited laboratory. Special pricing is available for sets that include these certificates.

Product Offerings:
The document details various gauge block sets and singles, including their sizes, accuracy grades, and packaging. Sets are available with or without calibration certificates, and custom compositions can be requested.
