regauging
Adjusting the scale
Regauging is the act of measuring or calibrating something again, or adjusting to a different gauge or standard.
In railroads, regauging means converting track from one width to another: The line required regauging to match the national standard.
Instruments and equipment may need regauging after repairs or to meet new specifications.
