Sentence examples for nominal gauge from inspiring English sources
It was the deliberate policy of Spain, and thereby of Portugal, to adopt a nominal gauge of 1,676 mm (5 feet 6 inches) so as to be distinct from France, a neighbour who on several occasions during the preceding century had interfered in Spanish affairs.
All the SH-SFRCs investigated had nominal gauge factors ranging between 50 and 140; these values are much higher than the commercially conventional gauge factor, which involves metal and is around 2. Both T30/0.3 and T20/0.2 produced the highest gauge factor, i.e., the best damage-sensing capacity, whereas S13/0.2 produced the highest electrical conductivity.
where G is the gauge factor, R is the nominal gauge resistance, and ε is the strain experienced by the gauge commonly measured in units of micro-strain.
Cant (cross level) is the height of the vertical side of the right-angled triangle related to nominal track gauge plus the width of the rail head.
Thus, the length of each stripe is acquired, which is the nominal thickness of the gauge block.
In a heavily indebted economy like Japan's, the better gauge might be nominal GDP.
Short-term interest rates are also unusually low relative to nominal GDP growth (a crude gauge of where rates should be), which implies that monetary policy is very loose (see chart 3).
The selected strain gauge has a nominal resistance of 120 Ω and a gauge factor of G = 2.07.
The units in which American building materials are measured are idiosyncratic in the extreme — they include gauges, penny sizes, nominal dimensions, and a host of other anachronistic absurdities — but the over-all system works well, in part because it arose organically from human activity instead of being imposed from above by theoreticians.
The resistance R P is a precision resistor with a value matching the nominal resistance of the strain gauges.
To achieve a 5-second maximal abdominal activation, subjects were asked to pull on a cable mounted onto a harness fitted on the subject's thorax (T8) and connected to a strain-gauge type dynamometer (nominal load 1000 N, Captels, France) while lying down on a table with knees and hips flexed at 120° and 60°, respectively; feet were attached to the table by straps.
