Measurement and Standards®: World Standard Artifacts and Measuring Instruments

When it comes to accuracy, our Measurement Standards have set the standard and been adopted in many nations and government institutions. Manufactured in Germany, these standards provide precision methods of accuracy in assuring measurement integrity.

Step Gages

PWMs step gages are rigorously calibrated certification masters. This threaded steel gage bar is ideal for CMMs, boring or milling machines and other cartesian devices

  • Step gages are available in standard lengths of 420, 620, 1010, 1540 or 2020mm.

  • Manufactured of special steel, aged to provide dimensional stability

  • Gage blocks are available in ceramic

  • Ideal for horizontal, vertical quill and "under-the-table" type machines.

Sphere Plates

Ceramic spheres are the basis of this extremely stable certification master. Sphere plates conform to the B89 specification and provide the interim steps inside the measurement envelope.

  • The main plate is a distortion-free neutral plane insuring the position between spheres and preventing variations of certified values.

  • Sphere plate design permits probing access from both sides of the plate.

  • Manufactured to high dimensional accuracy of <0.3µm and a hardness of >1650HV.

Gage Blocks and Accessories

High quality gage blocks made of steel, ceramic or carbide provide a high degree of stability and wear resistance. Accessories expand the application possibilities offered by gage blocks.

  • Available in steel, ceramic or carbide

  • Aged to eliminate internal stress

  • Accessories include: stands, holders, jaws, points, handles, optical flats, service kits and more.

Applicable SIC Codes: 3423, 3545, 5049, 5084
Applicable NAICS Codes: 332212, 333515, 423490, 423830
