INSIZE gauge block plate 1 mm class 2 with calibration certificate

INSIZE gauge block plate 1 mm class 2 with calibration certificate is a precision reference plate with a nominal thickness of 1 mm, manufactured to class 2 tolerance. Supplied with a calibration certificate, this gauge block plate is intended for use in setting, checking and calibrating measuring instruments, assembling reference stacks and carrying out workshop inspection tasks where a certified 1 mm reference is required.

Advantages

The plate provides a stable, traceable 1 mm reference backed by a calibration certificate, ensuring measured values can be related to recognized standards. Manufactured to class 2 tolerance, it offers a balance of accuracy and affordability for routine calibration and verification tasks. The compact, flat design simplifies inclusion in reference stacks and makes it convenient to use in bench-top and workshop environments.

Suitable for

• Setting and checking micrometers and calipers
• Creating or verifying reference gauge block stacks
• Routine workshop inspection and dimension verification
• Calibration tasks requiring a certified 1 mm reference

When it may not be suitable

This class 2 gauge block plate is intended for general calibration and workshop use rather than high-precision laboratory metrology. For applications that demand the smallest possible uncertainty or the highest accuracy classes, a higher tolerance class or laboratory-grade reference standard may be required. Also, it is not designed for use as a load-bearing surface or as a substitute for full gauge block sets when complex stack combinations are needed.

Key specifications

• Nominal thickness: 1 mm
• Tolerance class: Class 2
• Material: hardened and stable measuring steel (manufacturer-specified)
• Calibration: supplied with a calibration certificate traceable to standards
• Typical use environment: workshop and inspection benches

How to use

Handle the gauge block plate with clean, dry hands or gloves to avoid contamination and fingerprints. Use it as a single reference or combine it with other gauge blocks to form a reference stack; ensure contact surfaces are clean and free of debris before wringing or stacking. When checking micrometers or calipers, place the plate between measuring faces and take readings according to the instrument manufacturer’s instructions. Store the plate in its protective case after use and avoid exposure to moisture, dust or mechanical shocks that could affect its flatness and measurement integrity.

What to consider before purchase

• Required accuracy: class 2 tolerance is suitable for general workshop calibration but not for highest-precision laboratory needs
• Need for traceability: this plate includes a calibration certificate for traceable measurements
• Compatibility with existing gauge block stacks and measuring tools
• Storage and handling provisions to maintain calibration and surface condition

Usage recommendations

Use the INSIZE 1 mm gauge block plate for routine verification and as a building block in reference stacks; clean and handle it carefully, follow the calibration interval guidance from your quality system, and return to the manufacturer or an accredited laboratory for recalibration when required to maintain traceability.
