Mitutoyo 611196-541 Steel Gage Block 0.6 in Grade AS-1

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 611196-541 is a rectangular steel gage block measuring 0.6 inches in length, manufactured to ASME Grade AS-1 accuracy standards. Gage blocks serve as dimensional reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, verify tolerances, and establish precise length references on the shop floor or in metrology labs. Grade AS-1 indicates a high level of dimensional accuracy, making this block suitable for inspection work and instrument calibration tasks. A Certificate of Inspection is included, confirming the block meets the stated accuracy grade at time of manufacture. Licensed metrologists, quality control technicians, and tool room machinists are the primary users of this type of reference standard.

This gage block is used in dimensional inspection and calibration environments across manufacturing, machining, and tooling operations. It is suited for both production floor verification and metrology lab settings where a reliable, traceable length reference is required. The 0.6-inch nominal size fills a specific position in a gage block set build-up, allowing technicians to stack and wring blocks to achieve composite measurements with high repeatability. It is a single-block purchase appropriate for replacing a worn block in an existing set or supplementing a custom stack configuration.

Key Features

• Grade AS-1 accuracy per ASME standards, suitable for calibration and precision inspection
• 0.6-inch nominal length with five-decimal precision designation (0.60000 inches)
• Steel construction for durability and compatibility with standard wringing techniques
• Certificate of Inspection included for traceability documentation
• Single-block packaging for replacement or set supplementation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style individual gage block compatible with standard rectangular gage block sets and stacking configurations conforming to ASME gage block specifications.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks should be handled with clean, lint-free gloves to prevent contamination from skin oils that can affect surface flatness and wringing performance. Store blocks in a protective case away from moisture and abrasive materials to prevent corrosion or surface damage. Before use, allow the block to thermally stabilize to the measurement environment, particularly in temperature-controlled metrology labs where thermal expansion is a factor. Calibration and inspection work involving gage blocks should follow applicable ASME B89 standards and facility quality procedures.
