Vermont Gage 141209850 Class X Minus Pin Gage 0.0985 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141209850 is a Class X Minus pin gage designed for precision measurement of bores, holes, and slots in machined components. Manufactured from tool steel with a 4 microinch surface finish, it delivers the tight tolerances required for calibration-grade work. The nominal diameter measures 0.0985 inches with a minus tolerance of 0.00004 inches, placing this gage in the Class X category per established gage-block and pin-gage standards. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Accuracy backed by NIST traceability, making it suitable for use in ISO-compliant calibration environments. Metrology technicians, quality control inspectors, and precision machinists rely on Class X pin gages when direct part gauging or equipment calibration demands verified dimensional accuracy.

This pin gage is used in manufacturing, toolroom, and quality laboratory settings where tight hole tolerances must be verified or measuring equipment must be calibrated against a known standard. The 0.0985-inch diameter and 2-inch working length make it appropriate for small-bore inspection in both production and calibration workflows. It is suited for light industrial and high-precision environments where NIST-traceable documentation is required for audit or certification purposes.

Key Features

• Class X Minus tolerance: minus 0.00004 inches from nominal for high-precision gauging
• Tool steel construction for hardness and dimensional stability
• 4 microinch surface finish for accurate, repeatable contact measurement
• Includes Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability
• Compact 2-inch length suits bench, toolroom, and field calibration use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style calibration-grade pin gage for direct gauging of parts or calibration of measuring equipment requiring a 0.0985-inch nominal diameter reference standard.

Installation Notes

Pin gages should be handled with clean, dry hands or lint-free gloves to prevent corrosion and dimensional contamination of the finished surface. Store the gage in its protective sleeve or case when not in use to preserve the surface finish and prevent burring. Before use, inspect the gage surface for nicks or wear that could affect measurement accuracy. Recertification intervals should follow your facility quality management plan or applicable calibration standards.
