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
