They work well for checking gaps and clearances such as the amount of backlash between the cam and lifters.
to measure spark plug gap
Force gauges are used to measure the amount of force applied to an object. They're used in manufacturing places to test the amount of stress a product can take before it breaks. Force gauges can be both digital and analog.
strain gauges .
Ultrasonic thickness gauges are used in several industries. Gauges are available to test the thickness of metal, glass, ceramic, plastic and concrete so are common in any field which works with these substances.
Electronic Thermister
Nonmetallic feeler gauges are used by technicians to measure the air gap that exists between the coil body and the armature on an electro-magnetic brake. This type of braking system generally can be found on industrial cranes and on marine davit hoist systems.
With a straight edge and feeler gauges.
Feeler gauges.
Valve clearances are measured with feeler gauges on cold aircooled engines or warm water cooled engines.
a feeler guage cannot be calibrated, it is made at precise measurements that cannot be changed. When a feeler guage is out of spec, it is replaced.
slip gauges are the end standard devices used to measure length. angle slipgauges are used to measure angles . both of them can wring with each other .. and evrything is same : )
A feeler gauge is actually a set of very fine strips of steel used to measure small gaps such as plug gap of an auto plug, or gaps in bearing surfaces.
Tidal gauges usually measure the storm surge.
Checking the spark gap on spark plugs, and other small clearances
Many techniques have been developed for the measurement of pressure and vacuum. Instruments used to measure pressure are called pressure gauges or vacuum gauges.
Defi gauges are used to measure temperatures of the automobiles' engines and determine if everything is okay or if it needs a tuneup. They are pretty accurate and a reliable tool.
"Gauges" is a slang term for large gauge plug jewelry. Technically "gauge" is the measure of the thickness of any type of body jewelry, including standard earring posts.
