    What is gauge block calibration?
    Deformation corrections . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Gauge block calibration is one of the oldest high precision calibrations made in dimensional metrology. Since their invention at the turn of the century gauge blocks have been the major source of length standardization for industry.

    Why are 1-2-3 blocks called 2 4-6 blocks?
    They are called 1-2-3 blocks because their sides are 1,2 and 3 inches long, respectively. There are also larger versions of 1-2-3 blocks that are called 2-4-6 blocks. There isn’t one right way to use 1-2-3 blocks, in fact, the amount of uses is exponential and can look different from one shop to the next (this one really caught our attention).

    What is the total length correction of a calibrated block?
    The total length correction of the calibrated block is given by: where Lu is the calibrated length of the unknown block, Mu is the measured value of the unknown block, Ms is the measured value of the reference standard, and αs and αu are penetration corrections of the standard and unknown respectively, and αs-αu=0.05 μm (2.0 μin).

    What are precision 1-2-3 blocks used for?
    They are commonly used as parallels. They can be placed under the part so that through holes can be drilled through the part without damaging the table. Precision 1-2-3 blocks are also useful for anchoring pieces to your worktable so that they are in an elevated position.
