ABSTRACT:
A clamp tightness gauge determines the tightness of compressed sections having passages extending between the adjacent sections. The gauge has a frame to which a pair of spaced apart fingers are attached. The fingers have insertable opposed ends adapted to be inserted in a passage extending between adjacent sections. At least one (and preferably both) of the insertable ends is resilient. A wedge member is attached to an arm pivotably attached to the frame and has a tapered end slideably engaged with the insertable ends of the fingers for urging the fingers against the adjacent sections. The pivotable arm is in operative engagement with an externally threaded member moveably mounted on the frame. An indicator is connected to the wedge member for determining the displacement of its tapered end. Another indicator is connected to the pivotable arm for determining the forces exerted on the tapered end of the wedge member by the adjacent sections. Advancing the threaded member against the resilient arm of the pivotable arm causes the tapered end of the member to penetrate into the spaced between the insertable ends of the fingers and the tapered end of the wedge member to urge the fingers against the sections.
