Value Collection 630-31096 Steel Gage Block 0.109 in AS-1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 630-31096 is a rectangular steel gage block ground and lapped to Grade AS-1 accuracy for dimensional measurement and calibration work. At 0.109 inches nominal thickness, this block serves as a reference standard for setting comparators, calibrating micrometers, and establishing precise measurements on the shop floor or in a metrology lab. Each block ships with NIST certification, confirming traceable accuracy to national standards. Grade AS-1 represents a high level of dimensional tolerance suitable for demanding inspection tasks. Steel construction provides durability and resistance to wear during regular handling and use.

This gage block is suited for use in manufacturing facilities, machine shops, and quality control environments where traceable dimensional standards are required. Metrology technicians, quality inspectors, and toolroom machinists reach for individual gage blocks like this one when building up specific stack heights, checking instrument calibration, or qualifying fixtures. The 0.109-inch size fills a commonly needed increment in standard inch gage block sets.

Key Features

• Grade AS-1 accuracy for traceable dimensional inspection and calibration
• NIST certification included, establishing traceability to national measurement standards
• Steel construction for long service life and consistent wringing performance
• Rectangular form compatible with standard gage block accessories and holders
• 0.109-inch nominal size for precise stack-height builds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style individual replacement or supplement block for standard rectangular inch gage block sets used in dimensional metrology applications.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are handled and stored by metrology technicians and quality inspectors rather than installed by a trade. Clean all mating surfaces with an appropriate solvent before wringing blocks together to prevent scratching or inaccurate stacking. Store blocks in the supplied case or a clean, dry environment to prevent corrosion and surface damage. Do not drop or impact blocks against hard surfaces, as this can alter the lapped faces and void calibration.
