The Portuguese word for gage is calibre.

How do you pronounce it?

/kaˈli.bɾi/

Portuguese distinguishes between calibre for the diameter of a hole and bitola for the diameter of a wire or rail gage.
The word calibre is used in Portuguese to describe the 'gauge' of a needle, but the term for the thickness of paper is gramatura, which refers to weight rather than size.
The word calibre is a cognate of the English word 'caliber', but in Portuguese it is used more frequently for any precision diameter, not just firearms.
