Gauge Length instead of Gage Length in "Test specimen nomenclature" figure

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Hi there,

I am pretty sure that the word "Gage" should be replaced by "Gauge" in the figure "Test specimen nomenclature", which is this figure. Even though the source (Tensile testing by Joseph R. Davis, p. 50) also seems to call it "Gage Length", the word seems wrong and should be replaced, IMO.

Gage and Gauge are interchangeable, do not address 2600:1700:9666:C800:B133:1A8D:1B:D21A (talk) 00:31, 20 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
