#9006 Type IA Penetration Gage
The #9006 Type IA Penetration Gage is a precision inspection instrument designed to measure recess penetration depth for Pozidriv, Type IA, and Type Z cross recess head screws.
Manufactured in compliance with ANSI B107.600 and ASME B18.6.4 / B18.6.5M standards, the 9006 Series provides accurate and repeatable measurement of cross recess penetration geometry.
This gage verifies:
• Proper recess penetration depth
• Conformance to applicable dimensional standards
• Manufacturing consistency
• Production process stability
Unlike plug gages or ring gages, the 9006 Series measures actual penetration depth using a dial indicator assembly.
Available recess sizes:
9006-00 – Size 0
9006-01 – Size 1
9006-02 – Size 2
9006-03 – Size 3
9006-04 – Size 4
The 9006 Series is ideal for:
• Fastener manufacturers
• Automotive suppliers
• Aerospace fastener production
• Medical fastener inspection
• Quality control laboratories
When ordering, specify inch or metric dial indicator.SPC-compatible digital indicators are available.
Gage probes are heat treated, thermally stabilized, and surface treated to provide additional wear resistance and maximize gage life.
Long form calibration certificates provide dimensional verification and traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST.
The 9006 Series delivers precision penetration measurement for Pozidriv and Type IA cross recess inspection systems.
