2 How to Use Gauge Blocks
2 Gently place the optical at on the measurement surface
of the Gauge Block.
IMPORTANT
Place the optical at on the measurement surface of
the Gauge Block so that the arrow printed on the side
of the optical at points downward.
3 Lightly slide the optical at.
» If interference fringes appear: Proceed to step 4.
» If interference fringes do not appear: Burrs exist; proceed to step
2
.
Tips
Interference fringes may not appear if the surfaces were not wiped suciently or
if paper bers are present on the surface. In this case, wipe the surfaces again,
and then repeat from step 2.
4 Lightly hold down the optical at.
» If interference fringes do not appear: No burrs exist;
proceed to step
3
.
» If interference fringes partially appear: Burrs exist;
proceed to step
2
.
Tips
If interference fringes partially appear, slide the optical at slightly. If the inter-
ference fringes move with the optical at, it means that there are burrs on the
optical at, and not on the Gauge Block. Use a new optical at.
