Mitutoyo Gauge Blocks and 8. Characteristics of CERA Blocks Compared with other Gauge Block Materials
Inspection Certificates
Property CERA Block Material Silicon nitride
A Certificate of Inspection is furnished with all Mitutoyo (ZrO2) Steel Tungsten Carbide (Si3N4)
gauge blocks with a serial number on the box (in the case (Fe) (WC-Co)
of sets) and an identification number on each block. The
deviation of each block from nominal length, at the time of Hardness (HV) 1350 800 1650 1500
inspection, is stated. For this inspection, each gauge block
is measured relative to the upper level master using a gauge Coefficient of thermal expansion (10-6/K) 9.3±0.5 10.8±0.5 5.5±1.0 2
block comparator.
Flexural strength by 3-point bending (MPa) 1270 1960 1960 580
Fracture toughness K1c (MPa•m1/2) 7 120 12 6.5
Young’s modulus x10-4 (MPa) 20.6 20.6 61.8 28.4
Poisson’s ratio 0.3 0.3 0.2 0.3
Specific gravity 6.0 7.8 14.8 3.2
Thermal conductivity (W/m•k) 2.9 54.4 79.5 16.7
Note: Ceramics have the advantage of a slow response to temperature changes due to the low thermal conductivity. However, caution is required when using CERA blocks in
an environment subject to rapid temperature change.
9. Closest Expansion Coefficient to Steel
The thermal expansion coefficient of a CERA Block is quite similar to that of a steel gauge block.

10. Highly Resistant to Impact Damage
The CERA Block material is one of the toughest ceramics. It is extremely difficult to crack a CERA block in
normal use.
