Vermont Gage 141210000 Class X Minus Pin Gage 0.1 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141210000 is a Class X Minus tolerance pin gage used to verify bore diameters and calibrate precision measuring equipment in metrology and quality control environments. Manufactured from tool steel with a 4 microinch surface finish, this gage measures 0.1 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length. The minus tolerance of -0.00004 inches ensures the gage falls just under nominal, making it a Class X Minus designation. A Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability is included, meeting the documentation requirements of ISO and AS9100 quality management systems. Metrologists, quality technicians, and precision machinists rely on this type of gage for direct part inspection and instrument calibration.

This pin gage is suited for dimensional inspection of precision bores, holes, and slots in both production and laboratory settings. It is appropriate for calibration labs, machine shops, aerospace, medical device manufacturing, and any application requiring documented NIST-traceable measurement. The 0.1-inch diameter targets small-bore inspection work common in tight-tolerance machining and assembly operations. This gage is used as a go or no-go reference, or as a calibration artifact for air gages, bore gages, and other inside measuring instruments.

Key Features

• Class X Minus tolerance: -0.00004 inches for tight, reliable dimensional control
• Tool steel construction for durability and dimensional stability
• 4 microinch surface finish for accurate, repeatable contact measurement
• Includes Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability for documented calibration use
• 0.1-inch diameter targets small-bore and fine-tolerance inspection applications
• 2-inch length provides secure handling during manual inspection

Compatibility

Designed for use as a direct part gage or calibration reference for measuring equipment requiring a 0.1-inch nominal diameter artifact with Class X Minus tolerance.

Installation Notes

Pin gages are handled and applied by quality technicians and metrologists following established gage handling procedures. Always clean the gage and the part bore with an appropriate solvent before use to prevent contamination and measurement error. Store pin gages in their protective case when not in use to prevent surface damage or corrosion. Do not force a pin gage into an undersized bore, as this can damage the gage surface and compromise its calibration status.
