  • to be used for determining mesh sizes shall be 2 mm thick, flat, of durable material and capable of retaining their shape. They shall have either a series of parallel-edged sides connected by intermediate tapering edges with a taper of one to eight on each side, or only tapering edges with the taper defined above. They shall have a hole at the narrowest extremity.
mõõtekiil
Usage examples
  • Püüniste silmasuurust (sisemist) mõõdetakse kulumiskindlast materjalist valmistatud 2 mm paksuse mõõtekiiluga, mis on 1 -m kaldega 8 -m pikkuse kohta kummalgi serval ja millele on kantud mõõteskaala. Mõõtekiil surutakse märja võrgu- või noodalina silma. Mõõdetakse 20 silma ühes reas piki lina mitte lähemal kui 10 silma või 50 -m küljeõmblusele (pinele, selisele) ja silmasuuruseks loetakse mõõtmistulemuste aritmeetiline keskmine.
net gauge preferred
Usage examples
  • The gauges shall be marked 'EEC gauge'. Each gauge shall be inscribed on its face with the width in millimetres both on the parallel-sided section, if any, and on the tapering section.
