Gauge


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To measure or determine with a gauge.
  • (v. t.) To measure or to ascertain the contents or the capacity of, as of a pipe, barrel, or keg.
  • (v. t.) To measure the dimensions of, or to test the accuracy of the form of, as of a part of a gunlock.
  • (v. t.) To draw into equidistant gathers by running a thread through it, as cloth or a garment.
  • (v. t.) To measure the capacity, character, or ability of; to estimate; to judge of.
  • (n.) A measure; a standard of measure; an instrument to determine dimensions, distance, or capacity; a standard.
  • (n.) Measure; dimensions; estimate.
  • (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.

  • (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.
