Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: off- prefix, gauge n.

Etymology: < off- prefix + gauge n.

Engineering.

A. n.

A thickness (esp. of metal strip) which is outside the permitted tolerance.

1962 C. W. Starling Theory & Pract. Flat Rolling ix. 149 Probably the most common cause of rejections in cold rolled sheet is ‘off gauge’, and as the tendency is to decrease gauge tolerances, accurate gauge control is of the utmost importance.

B. adj.

Having a thickness outside the permitted tolerance.
