Fascinating Facts
​-W-

Wire Gauge
​Wire gauge is the measure of the diameter of wire or the thickness of a sheet of metal.  The American standard is the Brown & Sharpe measurement system.  Under this system, the higher the gauge number the thinner the wire or metal sheet. 
 
The following chart shows the wire gauges I routinely use and their sizes in inches and millimeters.
 
Gauge              Inches              Millimeters
   10                   .102                    2.59
   12                   .081                    2.05
   14                   .064                    1.63
   16                   .051                    1.29
   18                   .040                    1.02
   20                   .032                      .812
   22                   .025                      .644
   24                   .020                      .511
