Gauge Blocks Tolerances Specifications Table ASME B89.1.9

Tolerances, Engineering Design & Limits & Fits

Accuracy Specifications of Gage Blocks by ASME B89.1.9 (USA) at 20˚C.

ASME B89.1.9 standard specifies the most important design and metrological characteristics of gage blocks with a rectangular or square cross-section and a nominal length l n ranging from 0.5 mm to 1000 mm for metric sizes and 0.0010 in. to 40 in. for inch sizes. Limit deviations and tolerances are stated for the calibration Grade K and for the Grades 00, 0 , AS-1, and AS-2 for various measuring purposes.
