There are three ways to tell whether gaffs are sharpened properly. Step 1 : Three ways to maintain climbers : 1. 1. Gauging. This method checks the gaff's length, width, and thickness and the profile of its point.... 1. 2. Plane test. This method may be used with the gauge or independently if the gaffs are sharpened by machine. The test is made by using a soft board to tell whether proper sharpness has been reached. Place the climber with the gaff side down and parallel to the board without applying downward pressure above the gaff. Push the climber along the board. If the gaff is properly contoured and sharpened, it will dig into the wood and hold within approximately one inch. If the climber continues to glide along the board for more than one inch, it needs more honing. 1. 3. Pole cutout. After the climbers have been machine sharpened or gauged(and as often as required thereafter), the gaffs may be tested on a pole.  1, record 1, English, - plane%20test

The wash-water flow-rate can easily be checked(an essential procedure) by fitting a gauging sill to the sludge pit. At the same time the change in the quality of the discharged water can be observed, and the length of the washing operation adjusted accordingly.  1, record 2, English, - gauging%20sill

Le contrôle de la vitesse de lavage, qui est essentiel, peut se faire aisément en équipant le puisard des boues d'un seuil de jaugeage. On peut en même temps observer l'évolution de la qualité de l'eau évacuée et régler ainsi la durée du lavage.  1, record 2, French, - seuil%20de%20jaugeage
