Mitutoyo 614196-531 Square Steel Gage Block 0.6 in Grade 0

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 614196-531 is a square steel gage block measuring 0.6 inches, manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy tolerances and supplied with a Certificate of Inspection. Gage blocks are precision reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, verify dimensions, and set comparative measurement tools to a known length. This block is machined from steel and conforms to ASME standards, making it suitable for use in quality control labs, tool rooms, and production floor inspection applications. Installation and use require no special tools, but handling practices and environmental controls directly affect measurement reliability.

Grade 0 gage blocks are appropriate for calibration and inspection tasks that demand tighter dimensional tolerances than Grade AS-1 or Grade K blocks. This block is typically used by machinists, metrologists, and quality technicians working in precision measurement environments. The included Certificate of Inspection documents dimensional conformance and supports traceability requirements in ISO or ASME-compliant quality systems.

Key Features

• Grade 0 accuracy meets ASME dimensional tolerance requirements for precision reference use
• Steel construction provides durability and dimensional stability under controlled shop conditions
• Square form factor offers four usable reference faces for flexible setup and wringing
• Includes Certificate of Inspection for measurement traceability documentation
• 0.60000 inch nominal size supports a wide range of calibration and gauging setups

Compatibility

Designed as an ASME-conforming Grade 0 reference standard compatible with standard gage block sets, holders, and accessories used in precision measurement and calibration applications.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are handled by metrology technicians and quality control professionals rather than installed in mechanical systems. Before use, clean contact faces thoroughly to remove oils, debris, and burrs that can affect wringing and measurement accuracy. Store blocks in a controlled environment away from temperature extremes, vibration, and humidity to preserve dimensional stability. Periodic recalibration against a higher-grade reference standard is recommended to maintain traceability.
