Gauge Block Calibration Instruments
Compare TESA UPC and UPD gauge-block comparator arrangements. Configure the measuring instrument, references, temperature measurement, handling equipment and software around the calibration procedure.
What can you measure?
Variation in measured length
Where required by the procedure, acquire readings at defined face positions to evaluate variation in length. Specify the contact pattern and reference method.
Temperature for length evaluation
Measure the relevant temperatures with a suitable arrangement when assessing thermal effects or applying the specified length corrections.

| References and handling accessories | Reference sets, guides, pliers and thermal protection | Select accessories for the block sizes and calibration sequence. |
This comparison describes product families and configurations. Confirm the exact range, permissible error, accessories and documentation with the selected part number. Display resolution alone does not state measurement accuracy.
What to consider before choosing
Calibration scope
List nominal sizes, materials, grade and required measurement uncertainty. Define the calibration procedure.
Environment and temperature
Specify room conditions, stabilisation, temperature monitoring and the approach to thermal effects.
Reference and workflow
Identify reference blocks, contact sequence, handling tools, software and report contents.
Frequently asked questions
Should I compare UPC or UPD?
TESA lists UPC for comparative measurement and UPD for comparative and direct measurement. Select against the calibration method and required uncertainty.
Which gauge-block sizes should I specify?
List the shortest, longest and intermediate nominal lengths, together with material and grade. Review the measuring configuration, reference blocks and handling accessories for that range.
Are the reference blocks and temperature equipment included?
Confirm the supply scope explicitly. TESA lists reference sets, UPT temperature equipment and handling accessories as separate items.
What should I provide for a proposal?
Send the gauge-block size range, materials and grades, calibration method, uncertainty target, room conditions, reference inventory and required reports.
