Feeler gauges are used:
– To check the gap between the mating parts
– To check and set the spark plug gaps
– To set the clearance between the fixture (setting block) and the cutter/tool for machining the jobs
– To check and measure the bearing clearance, and for many other purposes where a specified clearance must be maintained.
170) In order to check the clearance between two mating surfaces, a ______ gauge should be used.

tolerance
Tolerance is defined as the difference between the maximum and the minimum sizes allowed in manufactured components.
upper deviation
Algebraic difference between a size and a corresponding basic size is called deviation. Limit deviations are upper and lower deviations. Algebraic difference of actual size with basic size is called actual deviation.
Upper Deviation: It is the algebraic difference between the maximum size and the basic size.
The upper deviation of a hole is represented by a symbol ES (Ecart Superior) and of a shaft, it is represented by es.
Lower Deviation: It is the algebraic difference between the minimum size and the basic size.
The lower deviation of a hole is represented by a symbol EI (Ecart Inferior) and of a shaft, it is represented by ei.

one side of the nominal size
In a unilateral system of tolerance, the tolerance is allowed on One side of the nominal size. Unilateral Tolerance is concerned with variations in single direction whether plus or minus.
