Value Collection 630-71136 Steel Gage Block 0.113 in Grade 0

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 630-71136 is a square steel gage block sized at 0.113 inches, manufactured to Grade 0 accuracy standards. Gage blocks serve as the fundamental dimensional reference standard in precision measurement work, providing a calibrated surface for verifying instrument accuracy, setting comparators, and establishing reference dimensions on the shop floor or in the metrology lab. This block ships with NIST certification, confirming its traceable accuracy. Grade 0 designation indicates a high level of flatness, parallelism, and size tolerance suitable for calibration and inspection applications. Machinists, toolmakers, metrologists, and quality control technicians are the primary users.

This gage block is suited for use in machine shops, calibration labs, and precision inspection environments. It functions as a length standard when setting dial indicators, bore gauges, snap gauges, and similar measuring instruments. The 0.113-inch nominal size makes it a useful component in a gage block set or as a standalone reference block for specific dimensional setups. Typical applications include incoming inspection, toolroom setup verification, and instrument calibration routines in both light manufacturing and heavy industrial settings.

Key Features

• Grade 0 accuracy for calibration-grade dimensional reference
• Steel construction provides durability and stable geometry over repeated use
• Includes NIST certification for full traceability to national measurement standards
• Square form factor supports wringing and stacking with compatible gage blocks
• 0.113-inch nominal size for precise dimensional setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision measurement reference block compatible with standard square gage block sets and accessories used in metrology and inspection applications.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks should be handled with clean, dry hands or lint-free gloves to prevent corrosion from skin oils. Store in the provided case when not in use to protect lapped surfaces. When wringing blocks together, ensure surfaces are clean and free of debris before applying light pressure and sliding them into contact. Periodic recalibration against a certified standard is recommended to maintain measurement traceability.
