Slips gauges are gauge blocks which are universally accepted and standards of length.  The idea of slip gauge is proposed by the Sweedish Engineer Johanon.  So they are also called Johanson Gauges.

Slip gauges are highly polished rectangular block.  They are used for high accuracy and close tolerance.  They are mainly manufactured with high grade steel but they are also made4 from tungsten carbide which is extremely hard and wear resistance.  For high accuracy, the working faces of the slip gauge are made highly flat.

The cross section of thee gauges are 9mm x 30mm for their sizes upto 10mm. and 9mm to 35mm for larger sizes.





Applilcation of slip gauges

·         For accurate measurement of work piece.
·         For checking the accuracy of veenier callipers, micrometers etc.
·         Setting of a comparator for a given dimension.
·         They are used along with the sine bar.
