फीलर गेज: परिचय
Feeler Gauges, sometimes called Thickness Gauges or Feeler Gages, are mechanical measurement instruments that are used to provide a precise reading of the gap that exists between two parallel surfaces, such as the clearance between two machine parts or elements. Feeler gauges are typically sold as what is termed a set, with each set consisting of a series of dimensionally accurate pieces of Feeler Strips Or Shim Stock that are joined using a common shaft and nut or riveted connection. The individual pieces, which are called blades, leaves, or plates, have very precisely calibrated thicknesses and can fold or fan out as needed when a measurement is to be taken, and can be recessed back on top of one another to fit into the gauge handle, which serves to protect the individual blades from damage when the tool is not in use. The blades are typically produced from a high carbon steel material. The use of high carbon steel is designed to ensure that the blade material will not compress during the measurement process, thus assuring that the gap measurements are accurate. Some models have a locking nut that can be tightened to maintain the blade position during use.
Each blade is annotated with its thickness designation. Different Feeler Gauge sets are sold with varying numbers of blades in them, which then corresponds to the overall gap range for which the gauge can be utilized.
Types of Feeler Gauges
There Are Many Different Types Of Feeler Gauges.
1. Straight Leaf Feeler Gauge
A Straight Leaf Feeler Gauge Has Leaves That Are Consistently Parallel.
2. Tapered Leaf Feeler Gauge
A Tapered Leaf Feeler Gauge Has Leaves That Thin Out Towards The Tips.
3. Feeler Strips Or Shim Stock
It Work Identically To Feeler Gauge Blades.
The Exception Is That They Are Not Connected In a Set,
And Either End Can Be Used To Measure.
They Are Separate For Quick And Easy Use.
4. Metric Feeler Gauge
It Gives Measurements In Hundredths Of a Millimeter.
5. Imperial Feeler Gauge
Its Gives Measurements In Thousandths Of An Inch.
6. Go-No-Go Feeler Gauge
It Has A Thick Base And a Thinner Tip. The Thinner End Of The Gauge Can 'Go' Into The Gap And The Thicker Body Will Not 'No Go".
7. Offset Feeler Gauge
In This Feeler Gauge Blades Are Bent Towards The Tip For Easier Access To Most Motor Vehicle Applications And Work In Restrictive Areas.
