1. A less popular way of spelling gauge. 2. An element used to contain and space the rollers in a one-way roller clutch.
A measuring device or measuring instrument.
A standard SAE designation of wire sizes, expressed in AWG (American Wire Gage). The larger the gage number, the smaller the wire.
The distance between the two rails measured at right angles. Standard gage is 4 feet, 8 1/2 inches.
A standard measure for sheet steel thickness or wire diameter.
An instrument for measuring or testing a parameter.
An instrument for determining whether the dimensions of a part are within specifications. A gage is usually fixed in size and is not adjustable like a micrometer.
The physical diameter of a wire. A standard for expressing wire diameter. As the AWG number gets smaller, the wire diameter gets larger.
An instrument used to detect pressure.
a measuring instrument for measuring and indicating a quantity such as the thickness of wire or the amount of rain etc.
a standard measurement of the thickness of metal sheets or wire (and bearing a relation to the weight of the metal)
an instrument for measuring temperatures, pressures, or liquid levels; also, an arbitrary scale of measurement for sheet metal thickness, wire and drill diameters, etc., liquid levels within boiler pipes, tans and other substances
The thickness of the back of a saw band, expressed in thousandths of an in. See Set, Kerf, and Side Clearance.
1) A device for indicating the magnitude or position of a thing in specific units, when such magnitude or position undergoes change, for example: The elevation of a water surface, the velocity of flowing water, the pressure of water, the amount or intensity of precipitation, the depth of snowfall, etc. 2) The act or operation of registering or measuring the magnitude or position of a thing when these characteristics are undergoing change. 3) The operation, including both field and office work, of measuring the discharge of a stream of water in a waterway.
See "Gauge" definition (1).
The numerical designation for the thickness of the steel.
Thickness of steel or distance between holes punched in flanges, base or splice plates.
Term sometimes used to designate thickness of flat products, wall thickness of tube or diameter of wire. The instrument used to measure thickness or diameter.
(1) An instrument used to measure magnitude or position; gages may be used to measure the elevation of a water surface, the velocity of flowing water, the pressure of water, the amount of intensity of precipitation, the depth of snowfall, and so on. (2) The act or operation of registering or measuring magnitude or position. (3) The operation, including both field and office work, of measuring the discharge of a stream of water in a waterway.
American term for "gauge."
The thickness of sheet or the diameter of wire. The various standards are arbitrary and differ with regard to ferrous and nonferrous products as well as sheet and wire. (2) An aid for visual inspection that enables an inspector to determine more reliably whether the size or contour of a formed part meets dimensional requirements. (3) “The ability of a material to under go plastic deformation without fracture. The ability of sheet metal to be changed into a useful shape” (Automotive Steel Partnership, 1991, p. 8). (4.) A device used to position work in a die accurately. Another name for a checking fixture which is used to check parts.
