Stainless steel gauge block packers – SATARBPP

The stainless steel gauge block packers are designed to stably assemble gauge blocks, allowing the creation of precision length standards for dimensional inspection and calibration of measuring instruments. They are available for measuring ranges from 200 to 2500 mm and are supplied as standard with two 20 mm support gauge blocks.

Their operating principle is simple: the required gauge blocks are inserted into the packer to obtain the desired dimension, creating a stable reference standard suitable for inspection of measuring instruments for both internal and external measurements. This configuration makes the system particularly suitable for calibration and inspection of calipers, micrometers and dial bore gauges, especially when working on extended measuring ranges or when multiple dimensional combinations must be obtained from a limited number of elements.

One of the main advantages of the system is the possibility of combining long gauge blocks together with smaller gauge blocks, obtaining a wide range of nominal dimensions. This allows the reference standard to be adapted to the required dimension, making the packers an extremely versatile solution for metrology laboratories and quality control departments.

For inspection and calibration of dial bore gauges and internal measuring instruments, the packers represent a particularly practical solution because they help reduce or eliminate the need to purchase multiple setting rings, offering significant advantages in terms of initial investment and management of the reference standards inventory.

Optional accessories are also available for specific applications, including:

• Base for vertical use
• Accessory dedicated to dial bore gauges

Thanks to the robust structure, modular configuration and the possibility of creating multiple reference lengths, the stainless steel gauge block packers are particularly suitable for inspection and calibration of measuring instruments such as calipers, micrometers and dial bore gauges, especially when working on extended measuring ranges with a flexible and configurable system.

To be considered a primary reference instrument, the gauge blocks used with the system must be supplied with ACCREDIA certification.

Applications

• Calibration of calipers, micrometers and dial bore gauges
• Inspection of internal and external measurements
• Creation of customized reference lengths for variable dimensions
• Use in metrology laboratories and quality control departments
