What is wire guaging? - Alinnor genevieve Lagos,Nigeria
A:
The gauge of a wire is simply related to its diameter. There are several different schemes for converting gauge number to diameter, for example the AWG gauge used in the United States or the British Standard Gauge, SWG. The metric folk use square millimeters. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge or http://www.reade.com/Conversion/wire_gauge.html for some more information.
