Vermont Gage 141134800 Class X Plus Pin Gage 0.348 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141134800 is a Class X Plus precision pin gage designed for high-accuracy dimensional inspection work. It measures 0.348 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, manufactured from tool steel with a 4 microinch surface finish. The Class X Plus tolerance of +0.00004 inches places this gage at the tightest commercially available tolerance class, making it suitable for calibration labs, quality control departments, and tool rooms where measurement traceability is required. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability, confirming dimensional conformance to national standards. Licensed metrology technicians, machinists, and quality engineers are the primary users.

This pin gage is used to calibrate measuring equipment or to directly gage part features such as drilled holes, bored bores, and machined slots. It is suited for both production floor inspection and calibration lab environments. Typical applications include verifying hole diameter acceptance on machined components, setting comparators and air gages, and confirming gage block stack accuracy. The 2-inch length provides adequate handling clearance for most bench and fixture inspection setups. Both residential-scale shops and high-volume production facilities use Class X Plus gages where process control demands the tightest tolerance class available.

Key Features

• Class X Plus tolerance of +0.00004 inches for the tightest standard pin gage accuracy class
• 0.348 inch diameter with 2 inch length for direct part gaging and instrument calibration
• Tool steel construction with a 4 microinch surface finish for wear resistance and dimensional stability
• Includes Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability for documentation and audit compliance
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of 1 for individual replacement or kit builds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision gage for use with any inspection fixture, comparator stand, or calibration system requiring a 0.348 inch Class X Plus pin gage.

Installation Notes

Pin gages are handled by metrology technicians and quality engineers; no installation trade license is required, but proper handling practices are essential. Always clean gage and workpiece surfaces before use to prevent false readings or surface damage. Store pin gages in the provided protective container or a padded gage tray to prevent nicking the gage surface. Do not force a pin gage into a hole; resistance indicates the feature is undersize and forcing can damage both the gage and the part.
