In addition, each gage block set will include a FREE calibration certificate at our A2LA Accredited ISO Calibration Laboratory. This offer is good only for items offered in this promotion. Purchases must be made by December 31, Calibration certificate must be redeemed within one year of date of purchase.

2 Mitutoyo Gage Block 70th Anniversary Offer Traceability of Gage Blocks Traceability of length to NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) is attainable only through the comparison of what is known as the end standards, or gage blocks. The gage blocks are, in turn, compared with the stabilized wavelength of heliumneon laser under controlled conditions. At Mitutoyo, our sets of standards are calibrated at NIST. They are firstgeneration artifact standards in the hierarchy of traceability. Our A2LA (American Association for Laboratory Accreditation) Accredited Calibration Lab (A2LA Certificate #750-01) is among the most capable in North America able to provide accredited calibrations on a wide range of measuring instruments and artifacts from all manufacturers, including gage blocks, small measuring tools, all brands of step gages, cylindrical squares and roundness hemispheres. Employing one of the world s most accurate, ultra-precise Coordinate Measuring Machines enables us to offer the lowest measurement uncertainty commercially available for a wide variety of length standards. And our fully automated gage block comparators allow us to offer an unmatched combination of accuracy, price, and turn-around time. Blocks blocks, made of ceramic materials with superior surface quality, that were developed by Mitutoyo s ultra precision machining techniques solve all problems that the steel gage block had. 1. Corrosion-Resistant Anti-corrosion treatment is not required when handled normally (i.e. with fingers), resulting in simple maintenance and storage. 2. No Burrs Caused by Dents, etc. Since the Block is very hard, it will not scratch and is highly resistant to burrs. If a burr is formed, it can easily be removed with a ceramic deburring stone (Ceraston). 3. Abrasion Resistant Blocks have 10 times (m) Resistance to wear Steel the abrasion resistance of steel gage blocks. 4. Dimensional Stability Blocks are free 0.2 from dimensional change over time Marking The black characters, indicating the nominal length, are inscribed by laser and are clearly visible against the white surface of the block. 6. Anti-magnetic Nature Keeps Away Steel Powders 7. High wringing force An even, dense tissue can maintain a strong wringing force. 8. Material of block Property Material Block (ZrO2) Steel (Fe) Carbide (WC-Co) Silicon nitride Tungsten carbide Block.

5 Accuracy Gage blocks offered by an all-round precision measuring machine manufacturer, Mitutoyo, guarantee such a high accuracy that users can use them without anxiety. Needless to say, 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. Wringing The lapping technique is one of Mitutoyo s specialties. Our advanced lapping technique, developed for more than a half century, enables us to achieve the best flatness and surface roughness needed for gage blocks and realize a great wringing force. Abrasion Resistance and Dimensional Stability 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 and that reassures users, as well as methodically repeated heat treatment, have successfully reduced deterioration change over time to the minimum. Mitutoyo Gage Blocks and Inspection Certificates A Certificate of Inspection is furnished with all Mitutoyo gage blocks with a serial number on the case and an identification number on each block. The deviation of each block is registered. For this inspection, each gage block is measured relative to the upper level master using a gage block comparator. Grade K gage blocks are manufactured by absolute measurement using an interferometer. The gage block set and discrete gage block are supplied with a Certificate of Calibration. The Certificate of Calibration specifies the deviation from the nominal length. (Comparative measurement, however, is performed for all square gage blocks.) A Certificate of Accuracy, traceable to the NIST, is furnished with each MITUTOYO gage block set and individual block Accuracies of Mitutoyo Gage Blocks All Mitutoyo gage blocks meet or exceed all known specifications. The flatness, parallelism and surface finish necessary to achieve the required accuracies are the same as or better than government requirements.
