Gap gauge tape INSIZE 1 mm x 5 m model 4621-100

The INSIZE gap gauge tape 1 mm x 5 m (model 4621-100) is a flexible measuring aid for assessing gaps and clearances over extended lengths. Manufactured for workshop and industrial use, the tape provides a continuous 1 mm thickness profile along a 5 metre roll, enabling repeated verification of uniform gaps during assembly, maintenance and inspection tasks. Its compact roll format and stable thickness make it suitable for use where consistent reference over long runs is required.

Advantages

The tape offers a uniform 1 mm cross-section that maintains dimensional stability across its length, allowing reliable comparison of gaps without repeated single-blade checks. The 5 m length reduces the need for splicing multiple gauges when checking long seams or joints. The flexible material conforms to curved or uneven surfaces while preserving the nominal thickness, facilitating measurements on a variety of parts and assemblies.

Suitable for

• Checking and setting uniform gaps in assemblies and machine beds
• Quality control inspections where continuous gap reference is needed
• Fitting operations on long seams, housings or welded joints
• Maintenance tasks requiring quick verification of clearance consistency

Key specifications

• Nominal thickness: 1 mm profile along the tape
• Length: 5 metres continuous roll
• Flexible strip suitable for straight and curved surfaces
• Compact roll format for easy storage and transport
• Intended for gap and clearance measurement in workshop and industrial environments

How to use

Cut or unroll the required length of tape and position it into the gap or along the seam to be inspected. Ensure the tape sits flat against the contacting surfaces so the 1 mm profile registers the clearance accurately. For curved surfaces, press the tape gently to follow the contour, avoiding folds that could affect thickness. Compare the tape thickness to mating parts or use it as a reference while adjusting shims, fasteners or alignment until the desired clearance is achieved. After use, rewind the tape onto the roll to protect the profile and store in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Inspect the tape visually before use for cuts or deformations that could alter the nominal thickness. For precision work, use in combination with feeler gauges or calibrated measurement tools to confirm final tolerances. Keep the tape clean and free of debris to maintain consistent readings.
