What are radius gauges used for?
RadiusRadius gauge / Calculation supportedIn classical geometry, a radius of a circle or sphere is any of the line segments from its center to its perimeter, and in more modern usage, it is also their length. The name comes from the Latin radius, meaning ray but also the spoke of a chariot wheel. Wikipedia
How do you use a radius gauge step by step?
How to inspect an existing object using a radius gauge
- Step 1 – Select radius gauge set.
- Step 2 – Decide radius type.
- Step 3 – Select blade.
- Step 4 – Light object.
- Step 5 – Light object (contd)
- Step 6 – Check blade radius.

- Step 8 – If necessary, adjust surface.
What are feeler gauges and what are they used for?
A feeler gauge is a hand-held tool used for measuring gap widths between two objects that are close together. They are extremely popular with mechanical engineers as they require a very accurate clearance description between two parts where a caliper or tape measure would not be able to fit.
What is Radius Gage set?
The Mitutoyo Decimal Radius Gage sets are designed for checking or laying out concave or convex radii. The Mitutoyo decimal radius gage sets have convex and concave gages to perform highly accurate outside and inside radius measurements.
What are the advantages of feeler gauge?
A feeler gauge is different from many other measuring devices as it provides you with a visual clue of how wide the gap you are measuring is by physically filling the gap with metal strips. Feeler gauges are ideal for use in spaces where other measuring devices, such as a tape measure or caliper could not fit.
Where would you use round wire feeler gauges?
They are commonly used across a wide range of industries such as aerospace, automotive, pharmaceutical, oil & gas, and general industrial machining. In automotive applications, feeler gauges can be used to set the valve clearance between the rocker arms and the valve stem and to adjust the spark plug gap.
