Pin Nose Gages and Seal Gage Operation Manual
ThePin Nosegages measurecritical pinseal diametersand widths.These gagesadjust
to cover all sizes ofseal diameters. The standard pin nose gage measures seal
diameters from 2 3/8” – 13 3/8”.
ThePin Nose can be used to measurestraight ortapered seal diameters, shallow bores,
andholelocations.
The pin nose gages use precision contact points to accurately measure the ring groove
diameter and width at the critical sealing point of the face groove.
Before inspecting parts, the pin nose gages must be preset to a nominal predetermined
dimension. The Seal Inspection Tolerances and Setting Dimension tables in this manual
determine the gage’s setting dimensions and gauging tolerances. The pin nose gages can be
preset using gage blocks, Frame Standards, or Gagemaker’s Pin Nose Diameter Gage
SettingMaster.
To inspect parts, the contact points are placed in the seal of the part and the gage is
positioned by sweeping to obtain an indicator reading. Gage indicators show actual deviation
from the preset master dimension. Taking measurements in several different locations along
the seal will provide an average seal diameter or width. It is also recommended that the gage
be zeroed periodically during use to maintain accurate readings.

Maintenance Tips
•Keep all unprotected metal surfaces coated with light oil.
•Avoid dropping the gage or subjecting it to any vibration or impact.
•Keep the gage dry and away from any machine coolant spray.
•Do not force the movement of any of the mechanical parts. The mechanics are
designed to move freely.
•Keep the indicator face clean.

The following diagrams display the proper setup
and operation of the PN-3000 Pin Seal Diameter
Gage.
1. Adjust the lower block of the PN-3000 gage to
a location that the contact points or Anvil fit
around the seal diameter of the setting standard.
2. Continue to adjust the lower block position
until adequate preload of the indicator has been
achieved. Lock the lower block lock knob. Normal
preload is approximately 1/2 - 1 revolution.
3. Sweep the gage to locate the largest indicator
reading (the point a which the indicator needle
changes direction). When the largest diameter is
located, rotate the indicator bezel to align the
zero with the needle. Tighten the indicator bezel
clamp.
4. Remove the gage from the standard and
place the gage against the connector face.
5. Using the lower (fixed) contact point or Anvil
as a pivot, sweep to locate the largest reading.
6. When the largest reading has been located,
record the deviation from zero on the proper
inspection report form.
