Vermont Gage 141122800 Class X Plus Pin Gage 0.228 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141122800 is a Class X Plus precision pin gage with a 0.228-inch diameter and a 2-inch length. It is machined from tool steel and ground to a tolerance of +0.00004 inches, placing it in the tightest commercial accuracy class for go/no-go and direct-measurement applications. Each gage ships with a Certificate of Accuracy that carries NIST traceability, making it suitable for use in ISO-compliant quality systems. Metrology technicians, quality engineers, and tool room machinists use this type of gage to verify bore diameters, check hole locations, and calibrate measuring equipment to a known standard.

This pin gage is used in production and inspection environments where tight dimensional control is required. Typical applications include verifying drilled or reamed holes, checking fixture locators, and serving as a reference standard for calibration of other measuring equipment. The 4-microinch surface finish on the gage body reduces wear during insertion and withdrawal, extending service life under repetitive inspection use. It is appropriate for both shop-floor and laboratory settings where Class X Plus accuracy is specified.

Key Features

• Class X Plus tolerance of +0.00004 inches for highest-accuracy inspection tasks
• Tool steel construction for wear resistance and dimensional stability
• 4-microinch surface finish reduces friction and prolongs gage life
• Includes Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability for use in traceable calibration systems
• Compact 2-inch length suits tight-access inspection scenarios

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or supplement for Class X Plus pin gage sets used in standard metrology and inspection applications requiring a 0.228-inch diameter reference.

Installation Notes

Pin gages are handled and stored by quality technicians or tool room personnel, not installed in mechanical systems. Clean and lightly oil the gage before and after use to prevent corrosion. Store in the original case or a protected gage block tray to avoid contact damage. Never force a pin gage into a hole; if resistance is felt, verify the bore size with an alternative method before proceeding.
