#9000 Type 1 Penetration Gage
The #9000 Type 1 Penetration Gage is a precision inspection tool designed to measure driver penetration depth in Phillips Type I and Type Z cross recess head screws.
Manufactured in compliance with ANSI B107.600 and ASME B18.6.4 / B18.6.5M standards, the 9000 Series verifies the depth of driver penetration into cross recess screws to ensure proper recess geometry and functional engagement.
This gage measures how far a standardized cross driver profile penetrates into the screw recess under controlled conditions.
The 9000 Series is designed for:
• Phillips Type I screws
• Phillips Type Z screws
• Cross recess machine screws
• International production programs
Available recess sizes:
9000-00 – Size 0
9000-01 – Size 1
9000-02 – Size 2
9000-03 – Size 3
9000-04 – Size 4
The system ensures:
• Correct penetration depth
• Proper recess formation
• Reduced cam-out risk
• Compliance with referenced standards
The gage utilizes a hardened precision ground driver-style probe with a dial indicator assembly to provide quantitative penetration measurement.
SPC-compatible digital indicators are available upon request.
All probes are heat treated, thermally stabilized, and surface treated to provide additional wear resistance and extended service life.
Long form calibration certificates provide traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST.
The 9000 Series delivers repeatable, production-ready cross recess penetration verification.
