Mitutoyo 611196-531 Steel Gage Block 0.6 in Grade 0

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 611196-531 is a rectangular steel gage block manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy and sized at 0.6 inches. Gage blocks serve as dimensional reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set comparators, and verify part tolerances on the shop floor or in a metrology lab. This block ships with a Certificate of Inspection, confirming it has been measured and verified to Grade 0 tolerances per ASME standards. Licensed metrologists, quality technicians, and precision machinists rely on blocks like this for traceable calibration work.

Grade 0 gage blocks are suited for laboratory and inspection-grade applications where tighter tolerances are required compared to working-grade blocks. This block is appropriate for calibration labs, quality control departments, tool rooms, and precision manufacturing environments. It functions as an individual block for building gage block stacks or as a stand-alone reference standard for setting instruments to a specific dimension.

Key Features

• Grade 0 accuracy per ASME standards — suitable for inspection and lab-grade calibration
• 0.6-inch nominal size in rectangular form factor
• Steel construction for durability and wear resistance
• Includes Certificate of Inspection for traceability documentation
• Individual block packaging — sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a standard rectangular gage block compatible with ASME-compliant gage block sets and accessories including block holders, jaws, and scribing points used in dimensional metrology.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks should be handled with clean, dry gloves or lint-free cloth to prevent corrosion from skin oils. Before use, wring the block to a reference surface or companion block on a clean, stable surface away from vibration sources. Store blocks in their protective case when not in use and keep them away from magnetic fields or abrasive environments. Recalibration intervals should follow your facility quality system requirements and applicable ASME or ISO metrology standards.
