Mitutoyo gage blocks guarantee such a high accuracy that users can use them without anxiety. Mitutoyo has established a traceability system for our measurement products, up to the Metrology Management Center of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), and we have been certified by the Japanese government as an accredited laboratory.

The lapping technique is one of Mitutoyo's specialties. Our advanced lapping technique, developed for more than a half century, allows us to achieve the best flatness and surface roughness needed for gage blocks.

High-carbon, high-chrome steel is employed to sufficiently satisfy a variety of material characteristics required for gage blocks. A high degree of hardness, obtained by our heat treatment technology, as well as methodically repeated heat treatment, have successfully reduced deterioration change over time.

Grade AS-1:

• These gage blocks are intended for shop-floor use to set and calibrate fixtures, as well as precision instruments

A Certificate of Accuracy, traceable to the NIST, is furnished with each gage block set and individual block.
