toc Read here about a term that is significant to research in superscale phenomena.

=Overview= Gauge may refer to a measurement gauge, a mathematical or physical science gauge, a railway standard, or other.

=Gauge In Measurement=


 * Gauge (instrument), any of a variety of measuring instruments, such as gauges on a car dashboard.
