  Gauge - LoveToKnow 1911
In the mechanical arts gauges are employed in great variety to enable the workmen to ascertain whether the object he is making is of the proper dimensions '(see TooL), and similar gauges of various forms are employed to ascertain and to specify the sizes of manufactured articles such as wire and screws.
A rain gauge is an apparatus for measuring the amount of the rainfall at any locality, and a wind gauge indicates the pressure and force of the wind.
This gauge therefore consists of a curved or coiled tube of elastic material, and preferably of elliptic section, connected with the boiler and arranged with a multiplying gear so that its bending or unbending actuates a pointer moving over a graduated scale.

 Pressure Gauge Selection
When selecting a pressure gauge consideration should be given to a number of parameters which have an effect on gauge accuracy, safety, and utility.
McDaniel provided diaphragm seals are engineered for reliable use with bourdon tube type pressure gauges where separation of the medium and the control mechanism is necessary.
Consequences of such loss of accuracy may be a pressure gauge which stops responding to pressure changes or is slow or sporadic in response to pressure changes in the measured media.

 Ionization gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An ionization gauge, or ion gauge, is a vacuum gauge that is used to measure the residual pressure of vacuum in the high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum (UHV) ranges.
A hot cathode ionization gauge is mainly composed of three electrodes all acting as a triode, where the cathode is the filament.
Using a cold cathode gauge in gases with substantial organic components, such as pump oil fractions, can result in the grown of delicate carbon films and shards within the gauge which eventually either short-circuit the electrodes of the gauge, or impeded the generation of a discharge path.

As such he developed a “coin” type gauge as opposed to the more commonly seen “cylinder” gauges shooters were forced to use in the past.
This can be debated but in my mind the no-no gauge is the gauge that is the most useful and needed for the general shooter or collector.
Once the gauge is in place the user pushes the bolt forward - as they would if chambering a round - and if the gauge stops before the bolt can close the headspace is in specs - if the bolt fully closes the headspace is excessive.

 vacumm gauge - Car Forums and Automotive Chat
There are a variety of engine problems that can be diagnosed by reading a vac gauge.
Engine efficiency tend to decrease with increasing vacuum, at full throttle the engine efficiency is usually above 30% but at part throttle it can be as low as 10%.
Pressure in the intake manifold tend to be different in different parts of the manifold, the highest pressures are seen where the air velocity are slowest.

To measure resistance, the strain gauge is attached to the test specimen with an adhesive.
The strain on the specimen is found by measuring the change in the electrical resistance of the strain gauge.
From the gauge factor equation (1) we see that it is the fractional change in resistance that is the important quantity rather than the absolute resistance value of the gauge.

 American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits
For the 00, 000, 0000 etc. gauges you use -1, -2, -3, which makes more sense mathematically than "double nought." This means that in American wire gage every 6 gauge decrease gives a doubling of the wire diameter, and every 3 gauge decrease doubles the wire cross sectional area.
Metric Gauge: In the Metric Gauge scale, the gauge is 10 times the diameter in millimeters, so a 50 gauge metric wire would be 5 mm in diameter.
In careful engineering the insulation temperature limit, thickness, thermal conductivity, and air convection and temperature should all be taken into account.

 Short duration amperage vs. wire gauge
Two of the variables I'm going to be able to adjust are wire gauge of the coil and amperage through the coil.
We're probably going to have to do some failure tests to be sure, but I'd like to get close before we start winding the coils up (which will be a relatively lengthy process).
When sizing for minimum power dissipation, the result is a trivial: maximum layers, maximum wire gauge.
