Mitutoyo 614224-531 Square Steel Gage Block 16 in Grade 0

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 614224-531 is a square steel gage block manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy and sized at 16.00000 inches. Gage blocks serve as dimensional reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set comparators, and verify machined part dimensions. This block is constructed from steel and ships with a Certificate of Inspection, confirming it meets the stated accuracy grade. Grade 0 blocks are suited for toolroom and inspection applications where close dimensional control is required. Installation and use are performed by metrology technicians, quality control inspectors, and precision machinists working in manufacturing and calibration environments.

This gage block is used in toolroom, inspection room, and quality assurance settings. It functions as a reference master for calibrating micrometers, calipers, height gages, and similar precision instruments. The square form allows stable placement on a surface plate and supports wringing to other blocks when building a specific reference dimension. Typical applications include incoming inspection, in-process dimensional verification, and calibration lab work. It is appropriate for industrial manufacturing environments where ASME-standard dimensional references are required.

Key Features

• Grade 0 accuracy per ASME standards, suitable for toolroom and inspection use
• Steel construction for durability and dimensional stability
• Square form supports stable surface plate placement and block wringing
• Includes Certificate of Inspection confirming conformance to stated grade
• Nominal size of 16.00000 inches for precise dimensional reference

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reference standard for use with precision measuring instruments requiring a Grade 0 steel gage block reference in accordance with ASME standards.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are handled by metrology technicians and quality control professionals. Before use, clean mating surfaces with an appropriate solvent to remove oils and debris that could affect accuracy. Store blocks in their protective case when not in use to prevent corrosion and surface damage. Do not use gage blocks as mechanical stops or clamps, as this can damage the lapped surfaces and compromise accuracy.
