Value Collection 630-31086 Steel Gage Block 0.108 in AS-1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 630-31086 is a rectangular steel gage block sized at 0.108 inches, manufactured to Grade AS-1 accuracy standards. Gage blocks serve as precision length references used to calibrate measuring instruments, set up comparators, and verify dimensional tolerances on the shop floor or in the metrology lab. This block meets NIST standards and includes NIST certification, making it suitable for traceability-required quality programs. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and quality control technicians rely on blocks like this for high-accuracy measurement work where a verified reference surface is required.

This gage block is appropriate for use in precision manufacturing environments, machine shops, and quality labs. It functions as a single reference block at the 0.108-inch size, commonly used to build stacked gage block sets or as a standalone calibration reference. Its Grade AS-1 classification indicates a high level of dimensional accuracy suitable for inspection and instrument calibration applications in both production and metrology settings.

Key Features

• Nominal size of 0.108 inches for precise dimensional referencing
• Grade AS-1 accuracy classification meets stringent dimensional tolerance requirements
• Steel construction provides durability and stable thermal properties for repeated use
• Includes NIST certification for measurement traceability in quality-controlled environments
• Rectangular form allows stacking with other gage blocks to build custom reference lengths

Compatibility

Designed as a standard rectangular gage block for use in precision measurement and calibration applications. Compatible with conventional gage block wringing techniques and standard gage block accessories.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks should be handled by qualified metrology or quality control personnel familiar with proper wringing and storage procedures. Keep blocks clean and free of burrs or contaminants before use, and store in the provided case when not in service to prevent corrosion and surface damage. Do not drop or stack blocks carelessly, as surface damage will affect accuracy. Follow your facility quality procedures for periodic recalibration and certification renewal.
