The important point in feer gauges ( also called thickness gages by some of the manufacturers ) is the thickness of the blades. Therefore in order to calibrate a feeler gauge you need to measure the thickness of the gauge at various locations along the length of the device. The standard used in the calibration should satisfy a TUR ( Test Uncertainty Ratio ) of at least 4:1 in order to limit the FAR ( False Accept Risk ) to nearly 2%. Such devices do not require periodic calibration. However, they should be standardized before every use by a standard in order to assure reliable measurements.

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.
The first generation of electronic ignition systems had a requirement to set the air gap between the reluctor and the pickup. It had to be set with a non ferrous metal gauge. That is why the brass blade in a feeler gauge set.

Adjusting the valves on a Caterpillar C 15 Engine is easy and does not take long at all. All you need is a wrench and a feeler gauge, You will then loosen up the bolt, place the feeler gauge in between the rocker arm and valve and then turn the wrench until the rocker arm touches the feeler gauge.
When was the last time you changed your spark plugs and wires? DO NOT USE A FEELER GAUGE ON THE PLUGS... THEY ARE PRESET AT THE FACTORY AND A FEELER GAUGE OR GAPPING TOOL WILL RUIN THE PLATINUM COATING.
