#9047 Tri-Slot Penetration Gage
The #9047 Tri-Slot Penetration Gage is a precision inspection instrument designed to measure recess penetration depth for Tri-Slot three-wing ribbed fasteners manufactured to NAS4000 standards.
Tri-Slot recess systems are engineered for aerospace applications requiring high torque transmission, controlled driver engagement, and resistance to cam-out. Accurate penetration depth is critical to ensure proper assembly performance and structural reliability.
The 9047 Series verifies recess depth relative to the fastener head surface using a dial indicator based measurement system.
Manufactured to support NAS4000 inspection requirements, the 9047 Series provides consistent and repeatable depth verification for aerospace fastener production and quality control.
