Vermont Gage 141202600 Class X Minus Pin Gage 0.026 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141202600 is a Class X Minus tolerance pin gage used for dimensional inspection and calibration in precision measurement applications. Manufactured from tool steel and finished to a 4 microinch surface finish, this pin gage has a nominal diameter of 0.026 inches with a minus tolerance of 0.00004 inches, making it suitable for tight-tolerance gaging work. At 2 inches in length, it is sized for standard hand-held use on the shop floor or in a metrology lab. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Accuracy that includes NIST traceability, meeting documentation requirements for quality management systems and audit-ready calibration records. Machinists, quality technicians, and calibration specialists are the primary users.

This pin gage is used in manufacturing and inspection environments where direct part gaging or calibration of measuring equipment is required. Typical applications include checking hole diameters, verifying go/no-go fit conditions, and setting or verifying the accuracy of other inspection instruments. The 0.026-inch diameter makes it appropriate for small-bore inspection tasks common in precision machining, aerospace component inspection, and instrument manufacturing. The Class X Minus designation indicates the tightest commercially available tolerance class, placing this gage within the upper precision tier used where measurement uncertainty must be minimized.

Key Features

• Class X Minus tolerance of -0.00004 inches for high-precision dimensional inspection
• Tool steel construction for hardness and wear resistance in repeated-use gaging
• 4 microinch surface finish for consistent contact and accurate measurement
• NIST-traceable Certificate of Accuracy included for quality system compliance
• Nominal diameter of 0.026 inches at 2 inches in length for small-bore applications

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-use inspection tool for calibration of measuring equipment or for gaging parts directly in any application requiring a Class X Minus pin gage at 0.026 inches nominal diameter.

Installation Notes

Pin gages are handled by quality technicians and calibration professionals and do not require power-down procedures. Store in a protective case when not in use to prevent surface damage or contamination that would affect measurement accuracy. Clean contact surfaces with a lint-free cloth before use. Do not force the pin into a bore; excessive insertion force can cause wear or damage to the gage or the part being inspected.
