Salient Features
Corrosion Resistant
Unaffected by water, acids and alkalis. Simple maintenance with no requirement of any anticorrosion treatment.
No adverse effects due to fingering while using.
Superior Wring ability
The uniform and close grain structure enables the blocks rigidly wrung together and easy to operate.
Dents and burrs are not easily produced on gauge surface.
Resistant to Impact
Zirconia ceramic blocks are hard and highly tough to withstand the knocks and drops that occur during use and will not chip or fracture easily.
Resistant to Wear
About 10 times life or even more compared to steel slip gauges. The natural stability and durability due to its low friction coefficient maintains their geometry longer.
Thermal Expansion
Coefficient of thermal expansion of ceramic is 10 x 10-6 / 0C, which is very close to than steel by 1.5 x 10-6 / 0C.
The lowest thermal conductivity makes these gauge blocks easy to use at different temperatures.
