Value Collection 630-33176 Steel Gage Block 0.17 in AS-1

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 630-33176 is a rectangular steel gage block ground and lapped to Grade AS-1 accuracy. Gage blocks serve as dimensional reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set comparators, and verify part tolerances on the shop floor or in the inspection room. This block measures 0.17 inches and meets NIST traceability standards, making it suitable for quality-assurance applications where documented accuracy is required. It ships as a single block, allowing technicians and metrologists to fill gaps in an existing set or replace a worn block without purchasing a full set.

Grade AS-1 gage blocks are a common choice for tool-room and production inspection environments where a balance of accuracy and durability is needed. This block is appropriate for calibration labs, machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and any setting where traceable linear measurement references are part of the quality process. The single-unit package suits facilities that need one specific size for a dedicated gauge setup or comparator fixture.

Key Features

• Grade AS-1 accuracy for reliable dimensional reference work
• Steel construction for durability and wringability in production environments
• 0.17-inch nominal size for precise gap, height, and comparator setups
• NIST-traceable certification included for documented quality-assurance compliance
• Single-block packaging allows targeted replacement without full-set cost

Compatibility

Designed as a standard rectangular gage block compatible with conventional wringing sets and gage block accessories conforming to Grade AS-1 dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are handled and set up by metrologists, quality technicians, and tool-room machinists. Clean all mating surfaces with an appropriate solvent and lint-free cloth before wringing blocks together to prevent contamination and surface damage. Store the block in its protective case when not in use to prevent corrosion and surface wear. Follow ASME B89.1.9 handling practices to preserve calibration integrity and block surface finish.
