Gauge blocks, also known as gage blocks, Johansson gauges, slip gauges, or Jo blocks, constitute a precision length production system. These blocks, crafted from metal or ceramic, undergo meticulous grinding and lapping processes to achieve specific thicknesses. Packaged in sets with a variety of standard lengths, gauge blocks find application by stacking them to create desired lengths or heights. A Brief History: The Gauge Block Invented in 1896 by Swedish machinist Carl Edvard Johansson, gauge blocks serve as reference tools for calibrating measuring equipment in machine shops. Devices like micrometers, sine bars, calipers, and dial indicators rely on gauge blocks...

Hardness testing plays a pivotal role in the field of mechanical engineering, offering valuable insights into a material's resistance to deformation. In this blog, we will delve into the intricacies of hardness tests, exploring their significance and the methodologies employed to assess hardness levels. From macroscopic to microscopic scales, hardness tests provide crucial data that aids in understanding material properties. Understanding Indentation Hardness: One of the fundamental concepts in hardness testing is indentation hardness, wherein the material undergoes indentation until an impression is formed. Particularly in testing metals, there exists a rough linear correlation between indentation hardness and tensile strength....
