'measuring fluidity in a forceful way' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'harry judge' is the wordplay.
'harry' becomes 'pressure' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'judge' becomes 'gauge' ('gauge' can be a synonym of 'judge').
'pressure'+'gauge'='PRESSURE GAUGE'

'is' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
