Modification of an interferometer instrument for highest accuracy calibration of long gauge blocks is presented. The interferometer design employs a Kosters prism, and a built-in 1 metre long vacuum cell for evaluation of refractive index of air in the direct neighborhood of the gauge block. The measurement set-up also includes platinum resistance thermometers and thermocouples for accurate measurements of gauge block temperature. Principles of the measurement method, including the application of phase stepping interferometry to both the length measurement and the correction for refractive index of air, are described in detail.
