датчик
datchik
In Russian, the word for gage is датчик (datchik).
The term датчик refers to an instrument used to measure and display the value of a physical quantity. You can use more specific terms for certain types of equipment: измеритель давления can be used to mean 'pressure gauge' and дождемер means 'rain measurer' in Russian and can be used for a rainfall gauge.

Did you know?
- Russian differentiates between a 'gauge' as a sensor датчик and a 'gauge' as a template or standard for thickness, for which the word калибр is used.
- Because it is derived from 'transmitter', using датчик implies that the instrument is not just measuring a value but also sending that information somewhere.
- While датчик is a general term, Russians use прибор to describe the physical device or instrument as a whole, focusing on the machine rather than the sensing element.
