This handbook is a both a description of the current practice at
the National Institute of Standards and Technology, and a
compilation of the theory and lore of gauge block calibration. Most
of the chapters are nearly self-contained so that the interested
reader can, for example, get information on the cleaning and
handling of gauge blocks without having to read the chapters on
measurement schemes or process control, etc. This partitioning of
the material has led to some unavoidable repetition of material
between chapters. The basic structure of the handbook is from the
theoretical to the practical. Chapter 1: basic concepts and
definitions of length and units; Chapter 2: history of gauge
blocks, appropriate definitions and a discussion of pertinent
national and international standards; Chapter 3: physical
characteristics of gauge blocks, including thermal, mechanical and
optical properties; Chapter 4: a description of statistical process
control (SPC) and measurement assurance (MA) concepts; and Chapters
5 and 6: details of the mechanical comparisons and interferometric
techniques used for gauge block calibrations. Full discussions of
the related uncertainties and corrections are included. Finally,
the appendices cover in more detail some important topics in
metrology and gauge block calibration.
