Gauge-Plane Clearance Worksheet

Estimate whether the buyer-entered gauge radius and desired service space fit inside a measured obstruction distance. The result is a geometry screen only; connector offset, clocking, interfaces, and pressure evidence still require a drawing review.

Gauge body diameter (mm)Use the largest body diameter, not only the dial label. Port-axis to obstruction distance (mm)Measure perpendicular to the relevant obstruction face. Desired service clearance (mm)Reserve room for the agreed tool and access path. Candidate fixed angleThe angle is reported, not automatically approved.

Measurement notes

Measure the gauge body.
Locate the nearest obstruction.
Keep every entry in millimetres.
Reserve the service space required by your approved procedure.
Choose a candidate angle after drawing the port axis.
Positive margin means only that the entered circular gauge radius plus the chosen service allowance is smaller than the measured obstruction distance.
Negative margin sends the geometry to drawing review.
Real connector offsets remain outside this arithmetic screen.
Port rotation can change the installed gauge plane.
Record the source of each measurement before sharing the worksheet.
Because the worksheet models only a circular gauge radius and a buyer-entered access allowance, keep the connector body, wrench flats, neighboring hose movement, tolerance stack, assembly sequence, and actual mounting orientation in the later drawing review.
Finally, photograph or sketch the installed area from a direction that shows the port face, obstruction depth, adjacent components, expected dial plane, and the route available for the assembly tool.

Worksheet result

Enter the measured values, then run the screen.

Do not infer: a positive margin does not prove the real angled connector envelope, installed clocking, material suitability, pressure capability, or connection compatibility.
