  Measuring Headspace
In simple terms, headspace is the dimension of the chamber of your rifle, the gap between the face of the bolt and the stopping surface for the cartridge.
To be precise, it is the distance between the face of the bolt and the datum line, which is a circle of stated diameter, along the slope of the shoulder of the cartridge.
On a belted magnum, headspace is the gap for the belt.

  Headspace
Headspace is an important term that is often misunderstood by shooters when they begin reloading.
Headspace is the distance between the bolt face and the part of the cartridge case that prevents itself from moving forward.
Ammunition factories measure headspace on belted or rimmed calibers at the belt or at the rim, but for handloading purposes you should always measure to the shoulder.

 Surplusrifle.com - Measuring Headspace
In strict SAAMI terms headspace is the distance from the face of the closed breech of a firearm to the surface in the chamber on which the cartridge case seats.
For a rifle that fires a rimmed cartridge the headspace measurement is taken from the face of the bolt to face of the chamber or the maximum allowed space between the bolt face and the face of the chamber.
Because headspace for "rimless" cases are measured on the datum line on the first shoulder, and not the top of the rim like a rimmed case, the gauges are considerably longer as shown in the photo above.

 Dynamic Headspace – CDS
Headspace sampling is a means of introducing volatile compounds associated with a sample material without the use of solvent extraction.
In static headspace, the sample is sealed into a vessel, warmed, and then a sample of the atmosphere surrounding the sample is withdrawn and injected into the injection port of the GC.
Dynamic headspace sampling is a technique which uses a flow of carrier gas through the sample vessel to increase the headspace sample size, and thus the sensitivity of the technique.

 Note 27 - Analysis of Organics in Soil by Headspace GC
The LEAP Headspace Auto Injector uses a heated syringe concept to directly inject 0.10 to 2.5 milliliter gas samples from the heated and agitated headspace sample vial into the GC injection port for subsequent trapping on a GC Cryo-Trap at the front of the GC column.
The HS500 Headspace Autosampler is mounted directly over the injection port of the GC in order to permit the direct injection of the sample into the GC injection port where the volatiles are subsequently trapped in the GC Cryo-Trap at the head of the GC column.
The headspace vial was heated to 70 degrees C and 1.0 ml of the headspace gas was injected into the GC injection port and then cryo-trapped at various temperature between -60 degrees C and -180 degrees C (Figure #8).

 ArmaLite, Inc. Technical Note - Measuring Headspace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
Headspace is defined as minimum and maximum acceptable dimensions from the locked breech of a firearm to some point; either a contact surface or designated datum in the rifle chamber or to the rear of the barrel.
A headspace gage is a precision-made device that measures the headspace of a firearm.
The minimum headspace gage is often referred to as a go gage, and verifies that the chamber being measured is at least large enough for the intended cartridge.

 Ap Note 28 - Volatile Organics in Latex Paints by Headspace GC
Headspace GC is a well-established technique for the analysis of volatiles in solid and liquid samples.
Because the headspace volume is directly injected into the GC injection port and all the volatiles are cryo focused at the front of the column, a large number of compounds from very light volatiles such as acetaldehyde up to the higher boiling plasticizers are trapped and subsequently analyzed.
The headspace vial was heated to various temperatures and 2.0 ml of the headspace gas was injected into the GC injection port and then cryo-trapped at -160 degrees C (Figure # 3).

 Shooters' Carnival
Headspace is term for the dimensions of a firearm's chamber & a cartridge.
So just as there is a headspace measurement for the chamber of a firearm there's a headspace measurement for the cartridge.
The problems of excessive headspace vary with the severity of the excess from reduced accuracy & short case life to case head separations & even self disassembly (a polite way of saying that you'll blow your firearm up).

 Bellm TCs, Inc. - Headspace, How to Get it Right
Headspace is a very simple concept that is both easy to understand and easy to measure, especially in any break open gun like the TC Encore or Contender/G2.
No headspace, meaning the case head is hitting on he breechface when you close the barrel, can cause the barrel to not close all the way.
Headspace is NOT the distance from the end of the barrel to the breechface, as is so often thought.

Every gunsmith knows that proper use of a headspace gage is the most reliable way to test the length of a rifle chamber.
"Headspace" is the distance between the face of the breech and the base of the cartridge when the action is closed, and excessive headspace can be dangerous as well as impair accuracy.
Some shooters are under the misconception that the headspace of a gun is fixed over the life of the firearm.

 Real Guns - .357 SIG handloads...controlling headspace
If at lock up, the space between 1 and 2 is  zero, then the headspace variance had to be created by the difference between the two parallel surfaces 1 and 3.
The.357 SIG headspace is determined by the shoulder not the case mouth, just like the.400 Cor-Bon and virtually every other rimless or rebated rim bottle neck cartridge.

 UALR SATU Headspace
Headspace and the useage of headspace gauges generate a significant discussion, and often debate, when the subject comes up.
Headspace gauges measure this clearance, and are in simplest terms a cartridge shaped chamber gauge.
The familiar bottleneck rifle cartridge normally "headspaces" from the bolt face to the chamber shoulder, ie, the cartridge fits into the chamber and the "clearance" is measured from specific points on the shoulder referenced to the bolt face.

 Firearm Technical Trivia, October 1999
Headspace is one of the most confusing issues presented to the collector of vintage firearms.
It is not possible to conventionally measure headspace in firearms chambered for rimless bottlenecked cartridges, as the shoulders of the chamber blend into the slopes and angles in front of and behind them, and there are no sharp angles from which to measure.
Headspace is a complex and convoluted issue that is fraught with difficulty and inconsistency.

 Some Random Thoughts on Headspace, Headspace Measurement and Gauges
In fact, for rimless cases that are headspaced by the shoulder and the head of the case, only the change in length, from the shoulder to the base, is important.
Headspace gauges are made to compare the actual chamber dimensions with the dimensions set by the manufacturer of the ammunition.
If you were to measure cases for headspace length and then fire them and re-measure, you could determine the chamber condition as to headspace.

 Polar Organic Compounds in Fragrances of Consumer products
It is probable that the toxic effects noted are those which are expected for a given compound of interest based on structure-activity relationships, etc. Toxic effects not tested may or may not indicate a likelihood of toxicity.
To test whether the known toxic effects are important with regard to human health, a simple analysis of the products (instead of their headspace) would be helpful in understanding the percent present in the different products.
As can be seen in the chromatograms of the product headspace samples, a majority of the major components were identified at least by obtaining a clear spectrum which was matched to a literature spectrum.

Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of Headspace is its maturity in using restraint where other composers would let their music erupt and explode.
Shore's score is given an addendum, a superbly warm rendition of Bach's Ave Maria which allows the slight Classical nods of the score to flourish and gives the soundtrack a final air of refinement and diversity.

 Fulton Armory FAQ: What is Headspace?
In practical terms, headspace is the clearance allowed between the base of the cartridge case and the face of the bolt.
The technical definition of "headspace" for bottle-necked rimless cases is the dimension between the bolt face and the datum line on the chamber or cartridge shoulder, whichever is being referenced.
Of course, the actual headspace obtained (i.e., the clearance between the base of a chambered cartridge and the bolt face) depends on the "headspace" dimension of the cartridge, which can be measured by a *cartridge* headspace gauge.
