◼ Gage blocks
❑ Provide industry with linear
standards of high accuracy
❑ Small, rectangular, square,
or round in cross section
❑ Made with steel or carbide
❑ Two flat and parallel
surfaces
❑ calibrated with light-beam
interferometry

❑ By combining blocks, any a special holder, used with a dial gage to
desired dimension can be form an accurate comparator. (Courtesy of

individual blocks are shown.
Standard Measuring Temperature
Linear Measurement
◼ They are calipers and dividers without any
graduated scales
◼ Used to transfer the measured size to a direct-
reading instrument
Angle Measurement
1. Profile projector (optical comparator): magnify
part with optical device
2. Bevel protractor:
3. Sine bar: angle calculated from trigo-relationships
