Vermont Gage 141116100 Class X Plus Pin Gage 0.161 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141116100 is a Class X Plus precision pin gage used to measure bore diameters and verify part dimensions with tight tolerances. Machined from tool steel and finished to a 4 microinch surface finish, this gage holds a plus tolerance of +0.00004 inches on a nominal diameter of 0.161 inches. It measures 2 inches in length. Metrology technicians, machinists, and quality control professionals use this type of gage for direct part inspection and for calibrating other measuring instruments. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Accuracy that carries NIST traceability, supporting documented quality systems and audit requirements.

This pin gage is suited for production floor inspection and calibration lab use. It applies to any application requiring verification of hole diameters near 0.161 inches, including checking drilled, reamed, or broached features in metal, plastic, and composite parts. Industries that commonly use Class X Plus gages include aerospace, automotive, medical device manufacturing, and general precision machining. The NIST-traceable certificate makes it appropriate for shops operating under ISO 9001, AS9100, or similar quality management standards.

Key Features

• Class X Plus tolerance of +0.00004 inches for high-precision measurement applications
• Nominal diameter of 0.161 inches for direct bore and hole verification
• Tool steel construction provides durability and dimensional stability during repeated use
• 4 microinch surface finish supports accurate contact measurement
• Includes Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability for calibration documentation
• Compact 2-inch length suits both handheld inspection and fixture-mounted use

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-use inspection tool for any application requiring a 0.161-inch Class X Plus pin gage, including calibration of measuring equipment and direct part gaging on precision-machined components.

Installation Notes

Pin gages are handled by quality technicians and machinists and require no permanent installation. Before use, clean the gage and the part feature with a lint-free cloth to remove oils, chips, and debris that can affect measurement accuracy. Store the gage in its protective case when not in use to prevent surface damage and corrosion. Never force a pin gage into a hole smaller than the nominal diameter, as this can permanently damage the gage surface and invalidate its tolerance.
