Vermont Gage 141219700 Class X Minus Pin Gage 0.197 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141219700 is a Class X Minus pin gage designed for precision measurement in inspection and quality control applications. Manufactured from tool steel with a 4 microinch finish, it measures 0.197 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length. The minus tolerance of -0.00004 decimal inches ensures the pin falls below nominal size, making it suitable for go/no-go gauging and direct part inspection. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability, supporting calibration programs and documented quality assurance workflows. Licensed metrologists, quality technicians, and toolroom machinists are the primary users.

This pin gage is used wherever a calibrated reference for a 0.197-inch feature is required. Typical applications include verifying hole diameters, calibrating measuring equipment, and confirming tolerance conformance on machined parts in manufacturing and inspection environments. The NIST-traceable certificate makes it appropriate for ISO-compliant inspection programs and regulated production facilities requiring documented calibration chains.

Key Features

• Class X Minus tolerance of -0.00004 inches for high-precision below-nominal gauging
• Tool steel construction for durability and wear resistance in regular inspection use
• 4 microinch surface finish for accurate, repeatable contact with measured features
• 2-inch usable length for access in a range of fixture and part configurations
• Includes Certificate of Accuracy with NIST traceability for calibration program compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a direct-measurement and calibration reference pin for applications requiring a 0.197-inch diameter Class X Minus standard; compatible with standard pin gage handles and sets accepting individual replacement pins of this diameter.

Installation Notes

Pin gages should be handled with clean, dry hands or lint-free gloves to prevent corrosion and surface contamination that can affect measurement accuracy. Store in the provided case or a padded gage block tray away from impact hazards. Verify the gage and the part being measured are at the same ambient temperature before use to eliminate thermal expansion error. Inspect the pin for burrs or wear marks before each use and remove it from service if surface damage is detected.
