Value Collection 630-20026 Steel Gage Block 0.1002 in Grade 0

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 630-20026 is a rectangular steel gage block measuring 0.1002 inches, manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy standards and supplied with NIST certification. Gage blocks are precision reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set comparators, and verify dimensional tolerances in machining and metrology environments. Grade 0 indicates a high level of dimensional accuracy, making this block appropriate for calibration lab use and demanding quality-control applications. The included NIST certification documents traceability to national measurement standards, supporting ISO and AS9100 quality system requirements.

This gage block is suited for calibration technicians, tool-room machinists, and quality assurance personnel working in manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and general precision machining environments. It functions as a single-piece reference standard for setting dial indicators, bore gages, and height gages, or for use in a wrung stack to achieve composite dimensions. The 0.1002-inch size is a common increment found in inch-series gage block sets.

Key Features

• Grade 0 accuracy for high-precision calibration and metrology applications
• Steel construction provides durability and dimensional stability under normal shop and lab conditions
• Includes NIST certification with traceability to national measurement standards
• Rectangular form allows wringing with other gage blocks to build composite reference dimensions
• 0.1002-inch nominal size covers a standard increment in inch-series block sets

Compatibility

Designed as a standard inch-series rectangular gage block compatible with wringing to other steel gage blocks of the same series for composite measurement stacks.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are handled and stored by calibration or tool-room personnel, not installed in the traditional sense. Clean block surfaces with an appropriate gage-block cleaning solvent before and after use to prevent corrosion and contamination. When wringing blocks together, apply light pressure and a sliding motion to achieve molecular adhesion without scratching the lapped faces. Store in the supplied case away from direct heat, moisture, and vibration to maintain dimensional integrity.
