Value Collection 630-21046 Steel Gage Block 0.104 in Grade 0

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 630-21046 is a rectangular steel gage block measuring 0.104 inches, manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy standards. Gage blocks are precision-ground reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set comparators, and verify dimensional tolerances in machine shops, metrology labs, and quality control environments. This block includes NIST certification, confirming its dimensional accuracy has been verified against national measurement standards. At 0.05 pounds, it is a compact, single-piece block suited for bench-level precision work. Installation and use require clean, burr-free contact surfaces and proper wringing technique to achieve reliable stacking and measurement.

This gage block is intended for use in precision measurement applications across manufacturing, toolroom, and inspection environments. Grade 0 blocks are appropriate for applications requiring high accuracy, including calibration of micrometers, calipers, and height gages, as well as setup work on surface plates. The block is sold as a single unit and is suitable for use as a standalone reference standard or as part of a gage block set.

Key Features

• Grade 0 accuracy provides high-precision dimensional reference for calibration and inspection work
• NIST certification included, confirming traceability to national measurement standards
• Steel construction offers durability and long-term dimensional stability under normal shop conditions
• Rectangular form supports standard wringing and stacking techniques
• Single-piece packaging allows for individual replacement or supplemental additions to existing sets

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style reference standard compatible with standard rectangular gage block sets and accessories used in general metrology and machine shop inspection applications.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks should be handled by metrology technicians or qualified toolroom personnel familiar with precision measurement practices. Before use, clean all mating surfaces with an appropriate solvent to remove oil, debris, and oxidation. When stacking, use proper wringing technique to achieve a stable, accurate combination. Store blocks in a protective case away from moisture and temperature extremes to preserve surface finish and dimensional stability.
