Noun
/θrɛd ɡeɪdʒ/
A "thread-gauge" is a measuring tool used to determine the size and pitch of threads on screws, bolts, or other fasteners. It enables users to ensure compatibility and proper fit in mechanical applications. This term is more commonly used in written contexts, particularly in technical, engineering, and construction literature, though it may also appear in oral conversations among professionals in those fields. The frequency of use is relatively specialized and may not be familiar to the general public.
The engineer used a thread-gauge to check the dimensions of the new bolts.
(Инженер использовал щуп для резьбы, чтобы проверить размеры новых болтов.)
A thread-gauge can help prevent mismatched components during assembly.
(Щуп для резьбы может помочь предотвратить несоответствия в компонентах во время сборки.)
It is essential to have a thread-gauge on hand when working with different types of fasteners.
(Важно иметь щуп для резьбы под рукой, когда работаешь с разными типами крепежа.)
While "thread-gauge" does not frequently appear in idiomatic expressions, it can be included in sayings related to measurement or precision. Here are some related constructions:
"To measure every thread with a thread-gauge" can mean to ensure precision in all details of a project.
(«Измерять каждую нить с помощью щупа для резьбы» может означать обеспечивать точность во всех деталях проекта.)
"Not every thread fits, but the thread-gauge tells the truth" signifies that not all things go together, but accurate measurement reveals the reality.
(«Не каждая нить подходит, но щуп для резьбы говорит правду» означает, что не все вещи подходят друг другу, но точные измерения открывают реальность.)
"Finding the right fit requires a thread-gauge" expresses the need for careful assessment before making decisions.
(«Найти подходящее совмещение требует щупа для резьбы» выражает необходимость тщательной оценки перед принятием решений.)
The term "thread-gauge" combines "thread," originating from Old English "ðræd," which means a filament or strand, and "gauge," derived from Old French "jauge," meaning to measure. This combination reflects the tool's function in measuring the size and characteristics of threads.
There are no direct antonyms for "thread-gauge" as it refers specifically to a measuring tool. However, in terms of function: - Guesswork (as it implies a lack of precision) - Approximation (which contrasts with exact measurement)
