Vermont Gage 141224600 Class X Minus Pin Gage 0.246 in

Product Description

The VERMONT GAGE 141224600 is a Class X Minus pin gage used for direct part gaging and calibration of measuring equipment. The pin measures 0.246 inches in diameter and 2 inches in length, with a tolerance of -0.00004 inches, placing it in the tightest commercially available accuracy class. Constructed from tool steel and finished to a 4 microinch surface finish, this gage delivers the dimensional stability and wear resistance required for production and inspection use. Each unit ships with a Certificate of Accuracy carrying NIST Traceability, supporting quality management and audit documentation requirements.

This pin gage is suited for use in machine shops, inspection departments, and metrology labs where tight-tolerance hole verification is required. It is appropriate for checking bores, reamed holes, and drilled features in both production and incoming inspection settings. The 2-inch handle length is standard for handheld go/no-go and attribute gaging applications. Licensed metrologists, quality technicians, and precision machinists typically work with this product in both job shop and manufacturing facility environments.

Key Features

• Class X Minus tolerance of -0.00004 inches for high-precision gaging
• 0.246 inch diameter in tool steel for dimensional stability and wear resistance
• 4 microinch surface finish for consistent contact measurement
• NIST-Traceable Certificate of Accuracy included with each unit
• 2 inch length standard for handheld attribute and go/no-go inspection use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style precision measurement tool for use with standard pin gage handles and sets compatible with 0.246 inch diameter Class X pin gages in metrology and inspection applications.

Installation Notes

Pin gages should be handled with clean, dry hands or lint-free gloves to prevent corrosion and dimensional contamination. Store the gage in its protective case when not in use and allow it to reach ambient temperature before taking measurements to prevent thermal expansion errors. Do not force the gage into a bore; light hand pressure is sufficient for attribute checking. Recalibration intervals should follow the requirements of your quality management system and applicable measurement standards.
