AWG to mm Conversion It is a conversion calculator used to convert the values in American Wire Gauge (AWG) to millimeters (mm). This converter has two text fields and control buttons that are used to execute different actions during the calculations. American Wire Gauge is a standard used in the United States since 1857 for copper, aluminium, gold, silver, etc. It is also known as Brown & Sharpe wire gauge.The more is the gauge number, the smaller is the wire diameter. Wires thicker than gauge 0 are denoted as 00 (or 2/0), 000 (or 3/0), etc. Washburn & Moen Steel Wire Gauge is used in the United States for steel. AWG American Wire Gauge / Diameter / Resistance Used in the United States and other countries as a standard method of denoting wire diameter. The higher the number the thinner the wire. Gauge to MM, Inches If the Birmingham wire gauge has a gauge number of 8, the diameter of the wire will be 0.165 inches and 4.191 mm. For a US standard gauge, it would be 0.1719 inches and 4.37 mm. American Wire Gauge every 6 gauge decrease gives a doubling of the wire diameter, and every 3 gauge decrease doubles the wire cross sectional area – just like calculating dB’s in signal levels. Metric Wire Gauges (see table below).
American Wire Gauge (AWG) & Metric Wire Gauge Wire Sizes; Van den Hul: AWG to Metric Conversion Chart; This table gives closest equivalent size cross references between metric and American wire sizes. In Europe, wire sizes are expressed in cross sectional area in mm² and also as the number of strands of wires of a diameter expressed in mm.
This table gives closest equivalent size cross referencesbetween metric and American wire sizes. In Europe, wire sizes areexpressed in cross sectional area in mm² and also as the number ofstrands of wires of a diameter expressed in mm. For example 7/0.2means 7 strands of wire each 0.2mm diameter. This example has across sectional area of 0.22mm². In America, the commonest systemis the AWG numbering scheme, where the numbers are applied not onlyto individual strands but also to equivalent size bunches ofsmaller strands. For example 24AWG could be made of 1 strands of24AWG wire (1/24) or 7 strands of 32 AWG wire (7/32).
