Wire Gauge Table

Dear Readers,
 
Gauge systems and are used to represent the thickness of the wire or diameter of the wire. In Great Britain wire gage has been legalized. Following gauges are available in industrial usage. 

   1. British Sheet & Hoop Iron Standard Gauge (Birmingham Gauge)

   2. U.S.Standard Gauge for Sheet & Plate Iron & Steel

   3. Birmingham Wire Gauge (or Stabs'iron  wire or Warrington Gauge)

   4. British Imperial Standard Wire Gauge

   5. American Steel & Wire Co.(or Washborn & Moen or Rocbling or Steel Wire Gauge)

   6. Washbrn & Moen Steel Music Wire Gauge

   7. New American Steel & Wire Co. music Wire Gauge

   8. American or Brown & Sharpe Wire Gauge

Dimensions of above said wire gauges are listed below. Specific usage are mentioned bottom of the table (Represented as Column-2, Column-3, etc.,). All dimensions are in mm. Click on Picture to enlarge

 

Column-2 : Used in great Britain for sheets and strips but in the United States only for strips (for black sheet see columns 3 and 4)

Column-3 : This gauge is used in the United States for black sheet

Column-4 : Used in Great Britain and the United States for wire (in the United States also used for black sheet and strips)

Column-5 : Used in Great Britain for iron and steel wire ; in the United States it is also used for copper wire.

Column-6 : The United States Bureau of Standards combines these gauges under the name " Steel Wire Gauge. "This is the most widely used gauge for wire in the United States.

Column-7 & 8 : For music wire

Column-9 : Used in the United States for nonferrous wire and sheets. The fractions have been approximated. 

Overall as the gauge number decreases, the thickness of the wire increases. Note that 000000 are pronounced " Six aught" . Similarly is an abbreviation for 0000 is pronounced " four aught" and so on.

 

Dimensions of Music Wire Guage Part-4

Dear Readers,

This post is a continuation with my earlier posts of gauges. Now you may familiar with AWG, SWG and MWG. Music Wire is characteristically much thinner than non-music wire of same gauge. So for dimensions of American Screw & Wire Co. Wright Wire Co., Roebling or Trenton Iron Works.and Felten & Guill-eaume ,English Music Wire Gauge and Poehl-mann Music Wire, were discussed. Now let us see the dimension of Allhoff & Muller (Music Wire) & W. N.Brunton (Music Wire)

Table is below. Click on Picture to enlarge

Note that 4/0 (pronounced " four aught) is an abbreviation for 0000, 2/00 for 00 and so on. Dimensions of Other Music Wire gauge will be followed my next post

Conversion Table of Drill bit sizes

Drilling is a cutting process that uses a drill bit to cut or enlarge a hole of circular cross-section in solid materials. The drill bit is a rotary cutting tool, often multi point. The bit is pressed against the work piece and rotated at rates from hundreds to thousands of revolutions per minute.

 

Drill bits are identified by the diameter size. However small size are standardised by number gauge. Number drill bit gauge sizes are analogous to, but different from, American wire gauge (AWG) and Standard Wire Gauge (SWG).

 

Number gauge is routinely used from size "80" (the smallest) to size "1" (the largest) followed by letter gauge size "A" (the smallest) to size "Z" (the Largest). Number gauge is actually defined at least down to size 107, but these smaller sizes are rarely encountered. 

 

 

Drill bit conversion table is given above, click to view enlarge. The table gives set of three columns for five times. The First Column gives the ANSI number or Letter drill size, the Second Column gives the size in inches and Third Column gives the closet available ISO Metric drill size.

Number and Letter gauge drill bits are almost always twist drill bits and it is the most commonly used. The gauge to diameter conversion does not follow a set formula, but rather was defined as a useful and practical measure.

Drill bit fractional inches which is available in market will follow next post

American Wire Gauge (AWG)

Dear Readers,

This is in continuation with my earlier article of Gauge system and SWG.Hope you may familiar with the gauge system. Let us discuss this article about AWG.

American wire gauge (AWG), also known as the Brown & Sharpe wire gauge. Non-ferrous metals like copper, aluminium and other wire materials (meaning those that do not contain iron) are using the American Wire Gauge (AWG), but is most frequently applied to copper household electrical wiring and telephone wiring. Typical household wiring is AWG number 12 or 14. Telephone wire is usually 22, 24 or 26. The higher the gauge number, the smaller the diameter and the thinner wire. 

The smallest AWG size is 40 and the largest is 0000 (4/0). AWG general rules of thumb - for every 6 gauge decrease, the wire diameter doubles. Dimensions of American Wire Gauge is below.

Standard Wire Gauge (SWG)

Dear Readers,
 

Wish You a Happy May Day-2013

 

This article let us discuss about Gauge systems. This systems are used to represent the thickness of the wire or diameter of the wire. In Great Britain wire gage has been legalized. This is called the Standard Wire Gage (S.W.G.), formerly called Imperial Wire Gage.

 

 Other main systems for measuring gauge are American Wire Gauge (AWG), Standard Wire Gauge (SWG) and Birmingham Wire Gauge (BWG). However AWG and SWG are widely used throughout the world. In general ferrous metals are using Standard Wire Gauge (SWG) and Non-ferrous metals (meaning those that do not contain iron) are using the American Wire Gauge (AWG).

 

Wire diameter is a premier factor in determining the wire. Different numbering systems are used, depending on the type of metal. Inch and millimetre dimensions are used for Standard Wire Gauge (SWG). No. 7/0 is the largest size (0.50 inch or 12.7 mm) in diameter, and No. 50 is the smallest( 0.001 inch or about 25 µm) in diameter. Overall as the gauge number decreases, the thickness of the wire increases. Wire gauge can refer to both electrical and mechanical.
