Gauge blocks, also known as slip gauges, are fundamental precision measurement tools used for calibrating micrometers, calipers, and other dimensional measurement instruments. These blocks ensure high-accuracy length measurements in industries such as manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, and research laboratories.
Over time, gauge blocks can experience wear, contamination, and environmental effects, leading to dimensional deviations. This is why regular Gauge Block Calibration is essential to maintain precision, compliance, and quality assurance in measurement processes.
At Prism Calibration, we provide ISO 17025-certified Gauge Block Calibration services, ensuring that your measurement tools adhere to the highest industry standards. Our calibration is traceable to national and international standards, guaranteeing reliability and regulatory compliance.
