Where can I find the wire gauge chart?
To see the latest wire gauge chart, you can see ASTM B258-18. You can also use AWG gauges to describe stranded wire. For a stranded wire, the AWG gauge is the sum of the cross-sectional areas of each strand.
What gauges of wire are used for different applications?
For construction and building projects, the standard wire gauges used are 10, 12, and 14. Some other applications of the wires with different gauges are- 18-gauge wire: you can use this for low-voltage lighting applications and cords 16-gauge wire: this is perfect for light-duty extension cords.
What is the size of a 1 gauge wire?
1 gauge wire is the first 鈥榥on-negative or 0鈥?wire gauge. 1 gauge wire diameter is 7.348 mm and it has a 42.4 mm2 (1 AWG to mm2) cross-section or area. Given the 42.4 mm2 thickness, the 1 AWG copper wire has a current-carrying ampacity of 130 amps at 75C.
How do you calculate the diameter of a 36 gauge wire?
The n gauge wire diameter d n in inches (in) is equal to 0.005in times 92 raised to the power of 36 minus gauge number n, divided by 39: d n (in) = 0.005 in 92 (36-n)/39.
