The phrase "a minimum gauge" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts where you are specifying the least amount or smallest size of a gauge, often in technical or engineering discussions.
Example: "For this project, we need to ensure that we use a minimum gauge of 12 for the wiring to ensure safety and efficiency."
Alternatives: "a minimum standard" or "a minimum measurement".
Minimum gauge length and minimum test speed results lesser strength CV%.
The failure criterion is based purely on compressive strength, with other possible design constraints (e.g. bending stiffness, minimum gauge and cost) ignored.
The innovative design characteristic is represented by adaptive dimensioning with minimum gauge, depending on requirements, the type of drive, the fixing method, the connections for the hydraulic circuit and intermediary sealing between stages which allows the operation with different liquid mediums.
Assuming hindlimb proportions common to basal ornithischians [28] [34], a hip height of 1.2 m, and taking into account differences in foot posture, we estimate that limb abduction angle ranged between 22° at maximum gauge width (46 cm) and −9° at minimum gauge width (−4 cm), in which the feet stepped across the midline (Fig. 4B).
Wherever possible, this should be delivered via a dual-headed pressure injector (flow rate of 1.5 2 ml/s, maximum pressure of 100 PSI) into a (minimum) 22-gauge venflon sited in the upper arm.
The device was able to withstand a minimum of 6 bars (gauge) pressure.
The line was built with narrow gauge, a minimum curve radius of 100 m and a steepest gradient of 3.0 percent.
Furthermore, it has been found that a minimum of 10 strain gauges is necessary to allow for a low error in the reconstructed forces.
The microparticles of PLLA need to be placed subdermally at subcutaneous junction with a minimum of a 26-gauge needle to avoid clogging.
The line has standard gauge and a minimum curve radius of 130 m, and is the steepest standard-gauge railway in Europe.
