ABSTRACT:
A clearance gauge comprises a thin foil rolled into a tubular coil at one end and having a flat tab extending from the coil, the coil windings being secured by a layer of adhesive. The gauge is attached via the tab to one of a pair of relatively movable parts and is deformed by compression between the parts to assume a dimension equal to the clearance between the parts. The foil has a low yield strength so that the coil substantially retains the dimension for later measurement to thereby afford a measure of the clearance.
