 WIRE MESH GAUGE DIAMETERS
Many European weavers utilize the SWG gauge standard although the wire mesh weaving industry is moving toward global standardization by avoiding the confusing use of gauge specifications altogether.
Much confusion has resulted from the use of gauge numbers, in ordering wire cloth or wire mesh it is preferable to state the exact dimensions in decimal fractions of an inch or a millimeter.
The decimal method of indicating wire diameters has the advantage of being self-explanatory, whereas arbitrary gauge numbers are not.
