Tape feeler gauge Gimex 0.1 mm x 5 m model 318.610 — flexible gap measuring tape

Gimex tape feeler gauge model 318.610 is a flexible gap measuring tape with 0.1 mm resolution and a 5 m length, designed to measure narrow gaps, clearances and joint widths in mechanical, construction and inspection tasks. The product features a thin calibrated tape housed in a compact casing that allows precise insertion into tight spaces and straightforward reading of measured values. Its flexibility and fine scale make it suitable for workshop, service and on-site inspection use where accurate gap assessment is required.

Advantages

The flexible tape provides high accessibility to narrow or recessed joints while preserving a clear 0.1 mm graduation for precise readings. The compact casing protects the tape when not in use and supports easy handling and storage. The combination of a long 5 m reach and a thin calibrated strip enables measurements across a wide range of gap sizes without the need for multiple tools.

Suitable for

• Measuring clearance and gap widths in mechanical assemblies
• Inspecting joints and seams in construction and renovation work
• Workshop and service checks where access is limited
• Quality control and inspection tasks requiring fine resolution

Key specifications

• Resolution: 0.1 mm
• Length: 5 m
• Tape type: flexible, thin calibrated strip for insertion into narrow gaps
• Casing: compact protective housing for storage and handling
• Intended use: gap, clearance and joint width measurement

How to use

Pull out the flexible tape from the casing and insert the calibrated strip into the gap or joint to be measured. Align the tape so the graduation marks are visible and read the value at the reference point or edge. Retract the tape back into the casing after use to protect the calibrated surface and to maintain accuracy. Use steady positioning to avoid bending or twisting the tape during measurement and ensure the reading is taken at the narrowest point of the gap for consistent results.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a dry, dust-free location and avoid sharp bends or kinks that can damage the calibration. Clean the tape with a soft, dry cloth after use and avoid using aggressive solvents. For repeated precision checks, handle the tape gently and verify the graduation legibility before critical measurements.
