Mitutoyo 611116-531 Steel Gage Block 0.16 in Grade 0

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 611116-531 is a rectangular steel gage block measuring 0.16 inches in overall length, manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy. Gage blocks are precision reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set comparators, and verify dimensional tolerances in machining and inspection environments. Grade 0 represents a high level of dimensional accuracy and surface finish, making this block suitable for inspection rooms, tool cribs, and quality control stations. Each block ships with a Certificate of Inspection confirming it meets the stated accuracy grade. Licensed metrologists, machinists, and quality technicians are the primary users of this type of reference standard.

This gage block is intended for use in dimensional metrology applications where a precise 0.16-inch reference length is required. Typical applications include calibrating digital and dial calipers, micrometers, height gages, and comparator stands. It is suited for both production floor and laboratory inspection use in manufacturing facilities, machine shops, and quality assurance departments that operate under ASME standards.

Key Features

• Grade 0 accuracy per ASME standards for reliable dimensional reference
• Rectangular steel construction provides durability and stable gauge faces
• 0.16-inch nominal size for precise short-length reference applications
• Includes Certificate of Inspection documenting conformance to stated accuracy grade
• ASME-compliant for use in regulated quality systems and calibration programs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision reference standard compatible with standard gage block sets and accessories used in ASME-compliant dimensional metrology and inspection programs.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are handled and stored by calibration technicians and quality professionals, not installed in the traditional sense. Always clean block faces with an appropriate lint-free cloth and gage block cleaning solution before and after use to prevent corrosion and surface contamination. Store blocks in the supplied case or a dedicated gage block storage tray to protect lapped surfaces. Do not wring blocks together or handle them with bare hands for extended periods, as skin oils can promote corrosion on steel surfaces.
