is a precision measuring tool used to measure the gap or clearance between two surfaces. It consists of a set of thin metal blades or wires of varying thicknesses, each marked with its thickness in standardized units, such as millimeters or inches.
Here are some key points about feeler gauges:
- Construction: Feeler gauges are typically made of high-quality steel or other durable materials. The blades or wires are precisely machined to accurate thicknesses and are usually held together in a stack or binder for easy storage and organization.
- Blade Thickness: Feeler gauges come in sets with multiple blades, each with a different thickness. The thickness of each blade is usually marked on the blade itself for easy identification.
- Usage: Feeler gauges are commonly used in mechanical and automotive applications for tasks such as:
- Measuring valve clearances in engines.
- Checking gaps in spark plugs.
- Setting precise distances between mating surfaces in machinery and equipment.
- Verifying tolerances in manufacturing and assembly processes.
