1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the most important design and metrological characteristics of gauge blocks with a rectangular cross section and a nominal length l n ranging from 0,5 mm to 1 000 mm. Limit deviations and tolerances are stated for the calibration grade K and for the grades 0, 1 and 2 for various measuring purposes.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this International Standard, the definitions given in ISO 1 4253-1 , VIM and the following apply. 3.1 gauge block material measure of rectangular section, made of wear-resistant material, with one pair of planar, mutually parallel measuring faces, which can be wrung to the measuring faces of other gauge blocks to make composite assemblies, or to similarly finished surfaces of auxiliary plates for length measurements
5 Basis of measurement, traceability, reference condition
5.1 Unit of length: metre The metre is defined as the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum in 1 /299 792 458 of a second (1 7th General Conference of Weights and Measures, 1 983). The definition is realized by working wavelength standards recommended by the International Committee of Weights and Measures (CIPM). 5.2 Traceability of the length of a gauge block The measured length of a gauge block is traceable to national or international length standards, if the measurement result can be related by an unbroken chain of comparison measurements each with stated uncertainties to a gauge block which has been calibrated by interferometry using appropriate wavelength standards. 5.3 Reference temperature and standard pressure The nominal length and the measured lengths of a gauge block apply at the reference temperature of 20 °C (see ISO 1 ) and the standard pressure 1 01 325 Pa = 1 ,01 3 25 bar. NOTE — The effect on the length of a gauge block caused by deviations from the standard pressure may be ignored under normal atmospheric conditions.5.4 Reference orientation of gauge blocks The length of a gauge block up to and including 1 00 mm nominal length refers to the vertical orientation with the measuring faces horizontal. The length of a gauge block over 1 00 mm nominal length refers to the horizontal orientation with the block supported on one of the narrow side faces, without additional stress, by suitable supports each at a distance of 0,21 1 times the nominal length from the ends. When such a gauge block is measured by interferometry in horizontal orientation, the weight of the auxiliary plate wrung to one of the measuring faces shall be compensated.
