Introduction
A feeler gauge is a precision measuring tool used to measure gap widths or the clearance between two parts. It consists of a series of thin, flat metal blades of varying thicknesses, typically marked with their corresponding measurements.
Purpose
The primary purpose of a feeler gauge is to provide accurate measurements of small gaps and clearances, which are essential for achieving optimal performance in mechanical systems.
Applications
Feeler gauges are utilized in various applications, including automotive engine work, where they are used to measure valve clearances and adjust gaps in ignition systems. In manufacturing, they help ensure proper tolerances in machined parts and can be used to check the alignment of machinery.
