The larger the cross-section of a wire, the less its resistance. Also, the larger the cross-section, the greater the amount of current (amperage) the wire can safely carry before overheating. A wire with a smaller gauge (larger diameter) can carry more power than one with a larger gauge...
American Wire Gauge has been used since 1857. But it was only standardized in 1957 by Joseph Rogers Brown for Browne & Sharpe - a manufacturer of measuring instruments. Types of AWG AWG is measured differently for different types of wire. For example, solid core wires are made out of a ...
American wire gauge (AWG) is a standard for the width of electrical wire used predominately in North America. The standard specifies the width of the the diameter of the wire, ranging from 0000 to 40. The diameter decreases as the wire gauges get larger. Advertisements American Wire Gauge is...
Wire gauge is an index which shows, indirectly (inversely and logarithmically), the cross-sectional area of a round wire. In the case of solid conductors, measurement of this area is pretty straightforward: the area is the radius of the wire squared, times pi, and for the sake of ease ...
Wire Gauge (AWG) Calculator Choosing the correct wire size is essential for SAFETY (fire hazard due to max current capacity) and PERFORMANCE (intermittent problems due to voltage drop) of your electrical system. Wire gauge depends on CURRENT and LENGTH of the wire. This means even if your fri...
For lighter loads, 12 gauge or even thinner could suffice. Current-carrying needs: For electrical uses, assess the amount of current that will pass through the wire. Higher current demands often call for a thicker gauge to avoid overheating. Flexibility needs: Consider how much the wire needs ...

That would seem like enough, but there are more requirements yet, including the ability to connect to one or more sense lines and use them to offset lead wire resistance changes caused by cable length and/or self-heating. Also, every strain gauge has aGage Factor- a number around 2, whic...
Most of the gumpaste flower making books i have ask for stiff wire but what exactly is the gauge number for those or at least what kind of wires do you usually use? Thanks. 3 replies Marianna46Posted 6 May 2011 , 9:35pm post #2of 4 ...
