What is the most commonly standard length of a feeler gauge blade? Correct Answer 100 mm

Concept:

  • A feeler gauge is a tool used to measure gap widths.
  • Feeler gauges are mostly used in engineering to measure the clearance between two parts like spark plug gaps, bearing clearance, the gap between the mating parts, etc.  
  • They consist of a number of small lengths of steel of different thicknesses with measurements marked on each piece.
  • Blade length – Standard blade lengths are typically around 3-5 inches (75 - 127 mm), but long blades might be 12 inches (304.8 mm) and shorter blades around ¾ - 1 inch.
