What is Feeler Gauges?
Feeler gauges, also called thickness gauges, 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. It consists of a number of small lengths of steel of different thicknesses with measurements marked on each piece. These gauges are manufactured using quality material, which assures the durability and reliability of these gauges. These gauges find diverse applications in diverse industry requirements, especially in the engine and automobile industry.
The market study is broken down by Type (Go No Go Feeler Gauge, Double Ended Gauge, Flat Feeler Gauge, Wire Feeler Gauge, Ramp Feeler Gauge and Others), by Application (Aerospace, Automotive, Pharmaceutical, Oil & Gas and Other) and major geographies with country level break-up.
