Spanish term or phrase: perder la comprobación
In what sense is this possible (perder la comprobación)? "Para la colocación de estas barras se montarán en los espadines mediante tornillos unos apéndices a los cuales se unirán las barras de comprobación mediante tensores de tornillo, con esos tensores se ajustará la comprobación de los espadines para que con una abertura de 4 mm en el espadín acoplado **se pierda la comprobación**, condición que se verificará con galga."

Explanation:
Cecilia, could it mean that with 4 mm (or more) of space between the "barras" that the check or verification is incomplete, lost, or annulled? Just a shot in the dark, not an easy question!

Thanks, apparently this had to do with "losing correct gap", if you understand the expression (I don't).

the testing bar falls away


Explanation:
in other words, they want the barra de comprobación [testing bar or whatever you are using for comprobación] to fall away, that's why they are there and the measurement can then be double checked with a gauge. The barra de comprobación become in effect useless, in other words, it works.Am I making sense?

When I say it works, I mean the rest of the gizmo that is supposed to work.

Gees, What I mean is that the space disappears to the regular eye and must be measured with a gauge
