Value Collection 636-1020 Round Steel Gage Block 0.102 in Grade B

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 636-1020 is a round steel gage block ground to a nominal thickness of 0.102 inches and rated to Grade B accuracy. Gage blocks serve as dimensional reference standards used to calibrate measuring instruments, set comparators, and verify tolerances on machined parts. This block is manufactured from steel, offering the durability and dimensional stability required for reliable shop-floor and toolroom use. Grade B indicates a working-grade tolerance suitable for general inspection and production measurement tasks where laboratory-grade precision is not required.

Round gage blocks in this size range are commonly used in machine shops, tool-and-die operations, and quality control environments. They are well suited for setting dial indicators, verifying go/no-go gauge setups, and calibrating micrometers or calipers. This individual block can be used on its own or combined with other blocks in a set to build up specific reference dimensions.

Key Features

• Nominal thickness of 0.102 inches for precise dimensional reference
• Grade B accuracy rating suitable for working and production inspection tasks
• Steel construction provides durability and long-term dimensional stability
• Round geometry simplifies single-surface wringing and comparator setups
• Individual block format allows targeted replacement or set supplementation

Compatibility

Designed as a working-grade dimensional reference standard compatible with standard gage block accessories including holders, jaws, and scribing attachments used in general metrology and machine shop applications.

Installation Notes

Gage blocks are precision measurement tools, not installed components, and require careful handling to maintain accuracy. Store blocks in a protective case away from moisture to prevent corrosion on steel surfaces. Clean surfaces with a lint-free cloth and appropriate solvent before wringing blocks together. Follow your facility's calibration schedule and handle with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves to avoid contamination.
