(1) The distance from the top downward, from the surface inward or from front to back. (2) Intensity. (3) In a thorough and comprehensive way.
Depth gauge
The depth gauge permits the accurate setting of the depth of a cut or drill.
Depth micrometer
Used for measuring the depth of a hole, this instrument consists of a precision-threaded spindle that has marked graduations and is held in a flat frame that spans the hole that is to be measured. Once the frame is settled on the area around the hole, the spindle, which is set at zero, is lowered into the hole until the bottom is reached. The number showing on the spindle will indicate the depth of the hole.
Depth of cut
Depth of cut refers to the thickness of the cut being made.
Depth of fusion
Depth of penetration of a weld.
Depth of throat
Depth of throat is the distance between the cutting or drilling mechanism and the frame of a tool. It determines the maximum available width to the center of the workpiece.
Depth scale
The depth scale shows the current depth of a drilled hole in inches and millimeters.
Depth tables
Table demonstrating the relationship between the depth of a building lot from the street frontage and its market value. The property value decreases as the distance from the street increases since street frontage is the greatest asset of a business property.
Deraign
To acquit, absolve or discredit allegations.
Derating
