Value Collection 636-0600 Round Steel Gage Block 0.06 in Grade B

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 636-0600 is a round steel gage block ground to a nominal size of 0.06 inches with a Grade B accuracy rating. Gage blocks are precision reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set comparators, and verify dimensional tolerances on machined parts. This block is machined from steel and held to Grade B tolerances, making it suitable for inspection and quality-control work in machine shops, toolrooms, and manufacturing environments. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and metrology technicians are the primary users of this type of reference standard.

This gage block is used wherever a precise 0.06-inch reference dimension is needed. Typical applications include setting dial indicators, verifying go/no-go gauge setups, and calibrating micrometer anvils or other dimensional measuring tools. Grade B blocks are appropriate for general shop-floor inspection work where laboratory-grade (Grade AS-1 or AS-2) accuracy is not required. The round form factor makes it easy to handle and store in standard gage block sets or individual protective cases.

Key Features

• Nominal size of 0.06 inches for precise dimensional reference
• Grade B accuracy rating suitable for general shop-floor inspection
• Steel construction provides durability and wear resistance for repeated use
• Round form factor for easy single-block handling and storage
• Individual packaging protects the lapped surfaces from damage during storage

Compatibility

Designed as a standard reference block for use with comparators, dial indicators, height gauges, and other dimensional measuring instruments that accept a 0.06-inch reference standard.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are precision instruments and should be handled by metrology technicians or toolmakers following established shop practices. Keep lapped surfaces clean and lightly oiled when not in use to prevent corrosion. Do not drop or stack blocks without protective interleaving, as surface damage will affect accuracy. Follow ASME B89.1.9 guidelines for proper handling, storage, and calibration intervals.
