  • (n.) Any instrument for ascertaining or regulating the dimensions or forms of things; a templet or template; as, a button maker's gauge.
  • (n.) Any instrument or apparatus for measuring the state of a phenomenon, or for ascertaining its numerical elements at any moment; -- usually applied to some particular instrument; as, a rain gauge; a steam gauge.
  • (n.) Relative positions of two or more vessels with reference to the wind; as, a vessel has the weather gauge of another when on the windward side of it, and the lee gauge when on the lee side of it.
  • (n.) The depth to which a vessel sinks in the water.
  • (n.) The distance between the rails of a railway.
  • (n.) The quantity of plaster of Paris used with common plaster to accelerate its setting.
  • (n.) That part of a shingle, slate, or tile, which is exposed to the weather, when laid; also, one course of such shingles, slates, or tiles.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The adjacent gauge was separated from the ischemic segment by one large nonoccluded diagonal branch of the left anterior descending artery.
  • (2) Use 3-ml Luer-Lok syringes and 30-gauge needles and thread the needle carefully into the vessel while using slow and steady injection with light pressure.
  • (3) US guidance facilitated placement of a 22-gauge needle by means of a subxyphoid or transthoracic approach.
  • (4) The strain gauge data suggested that a relation exists between masticatory force and parotid salivary flow.
  • (5) Gauging the proper end point of methohexital administration is accomplished through skilled observation of the patient.
  • (6) The apparatus consists of three basic components; a set of 4 strain gauge platforms on which the quadruped is trained to stand, a restraining device to keep the animal positioned over the strain gauge platforms and two mobile plates which mechanically stimulate the left or the right forelimb to produce the placing movement.
  • (7) It will pump nothing more than water into the air, but it will allow climate scientists and engineers to gauge the engineering feasibility of the plan.
  • (8) Four percent of the 20-gauge and 2% of the 21-gauge patients had mild hematomas.
  • (9) Fluid flow increased approximately 50% for each gauge catheter when the height was raised from 0.91 to 1.75 m. Flow rates increased linearly with increasing catheter radius.

  • (11) The activity patterns in self- and cross-reinnervated flexor digitorum longus (FDL) and soleus (SOL) muscles were examined during natural movements in awake, unrestrained cats in which electromyographic (EMG) electrodes, tendon-force gauges, and muscle-length gauges had been chronically implanted under anesthesia and aseptic conditions.
  • (12) To gauge whether more stringent civil commitment criteria have led to the criminalization of mentally ill persons, forcing them into jails and prisons instead of treating them, a statewide sample of 1,226 civil commitment candidates in North Carolina was tracked for six months after their commitment hearings.

  • (16) It certainly makes sense for the government to try to gauge the harm that could result if all that information was disclosed, but that's very different from saying harm has occurred.
  • (17) The time required to empty a one litre bag of Ringer's Lactate from a 1.0 meter vertical drop was measured while using four different IV catheters (9.5, 10, 14 and 16 gauge), and the flow rates calculated.
  • (18) A tube system was connected to an 18-gauge needle and to a pressure transducer.
  • (19) The motor activity was recorded with seven strain-gauge transducers.
  • (20) This is best accomplished with a continuous stream of normal saline from a 1-I bag which is attached to an intravenous line with a 16-gauge Teflon catheter placement sleeve affixed to the distal end of the line.
