Description All Mitutoyo gauge blocks meet or exceed all known specifications. The flatness and parallelism surface finish necessary to achieve the required accuracies are the same as or better than government requirements. A certificate of inspection is furnished with all Mitutoyo gauge 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 gauge block is measured relative to the upper level master using a gauge block comparator. Grade K gauge blocks are manufactured by absolute measurement using an interferometer. The gauge block set and discrete gauge 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 gauge blocks.). A certificate of accuracy, traceable to the NIST, is furnished with each Mitutoyo gauge block set and individual block.
