Vermont Gage 141146800 Class X Plus Pin Gage 0.468 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141146800 is a Class X Plus pin gage machined from tool steel and used for precise dimensional verification in calibration and inspection workflows. With a nominal diameter of 0.468 inches and a tolerance of +0.00004 inches, this gage delivers the tight accuracy required for Class X Plus classification. At 2 inches in length, it is sized for hand-held use in standard gage blocks and pin gage handle holders. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability, making it suitable for ISO- and quality-system-documented inspection environments. Machinists, quality technicians, and calibration lab personnel are the primary users.

This pin gage is intended for two core applications: calibrating measuring equipment and direct part gaging. It suits incoming inspection stations, machine shop floor CMM support, and toolroom quality checks. The 4 micro finish on the gage surface supports consistent, repeatable contact measurements. It is appropriate for use in both production and calibration lab settings where documented traceability to NIST standards is required by quality management systems or customer specifications.

Key Features

• Class X Plus tolerance of +0.00004 inches for high-accuracy dimensional verification
• Tool steel construction for hardness and wear resistance in repetitive gaging use
• 4 micro surface finish for consistent, repeatable contact measurement
• Includes Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability for documented quality systems
• 0.468 inch nominal diameter, 2 inch length — standard pin gage form factor

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard pin gage handle holders and gage block sets that accept 0.468 inch diameter Class X Plus pins. Suitable for calibration of measuring equipment or direct part gaging in any inspection environment requiring NIST-traceable documentation.

Installation Notes

Pin gages should be handled with clean cotton or nitrile gloves to prevent corrosion from skin contact. Store in a protective case away from moisture and abrasive surfaces when not in use. Insertion force should be gentle and controlled — never force a pin gage into a hole, as this can damage both the gage and the workpiece. Periodic cleaning and re-certification intervals should follow your facility quality management plan.
