Mitutoyo 614172-531 Square Steel Gage Block 0.132 in Grade 0

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 614172-531 is a square steel gage block measuring 0.132 inches in overall length, manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy and conforming to ASME standards. Gage blocks are precision reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set comparators, and verify dimensional tolerances in machining and inspection environments. This block is constructed from steel and ships with a Certificate of Inspection, providing documented traceability for quality-assurance programs. Grade 0 represents a high level of dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for calibration labs, tool rooms, and production inspection stations where tight tolerance verification is required.

This gage block is intended for use in precision measurement and metrology applications across manufacturing, tooling, and quality-control settings. It functions as a reference standard for surface plate work, height gauge setup, and instrument calibration. The 0.132-inch size fills a specific incremental step in a gage block set or serves as a standalone reference dimension for dedicated inspection fixtures. Machinists, metrologists, and quality technicians working in metal fabrication, aerospace, and general manufacturing environments are the primary users of this block.

Key Features

• Grade 0 accuracy per ASME standards for high-precision dimensional reference
• Steel construction provides durability and long-term dimensional stability
• 0.132-inch nominal size for precise incremental measurement needs
• Includes Certificate of Inspection for documented traceability
• ASME-compliant — suitable for use in certified metrology and calibration programs

Compatibility

Designed as a standalone or supplemental reference standard compatible with standard gage block accessories including holders, jaws, and scribers used in ASME-compliant measurement setups.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are handled and stored by metrology technicians and quality inspectors, not installed in the traditional sense. Clean mating surfaces thoroughly before wringing blocks together to avoid measurement error or surface damage. Store the block in its protective case when not in use to prevent corrosion and wear. Avoid dropping or impacting the block, as this can alter its calibrated dimensions and void traceability documentation.
