Aurangabad-based mikronix associates offers ceramic slip gauges from specially selected zirconia ceramic from uk. These ceramic slip gauges have uniform and close grain structure enabling blocks to be rigidly wrung together and easy to operate. Dents and burrs can not be easily formed on gauge surface. Zirconia ceramic blocks are hard and highly tough to withstand knocks and drops that occur during use and will not chip or fracture easily. The geometry of these blocks are maintained easily and for long providing natural stability and durability due to co-efficient low friction. The company supplies these in sets in different grades. Co-efficient thermal expansion of ceramic is 10 x 10-6 / °c close to that of steel by 1.5 x 10-6 /°c. The lowest thermal conductivity makes these gauge blocks easy to use at different temperatures.
Features:
-corrosion resistant
-unaffected by water, acids and alkalis
-simple maintenance with no requirement of anti-corrosion treatment
-no adverse effects due to finger impression while using
