	American wire gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		American wire gauge (AWG), also known as the "Brown and Sharpe" wire gauge, is used in the United States and other countries as a standard method of denoting wire diameter, especially for nonferrous, electrically conducting wire.
		This seemingly-counterintuitive numbering is derived from the fact that the gauge number is related to the number of drawing operations that must be used to produce a given gauge of wire; very fine wire (for example, 30 gauge) requires far more passes through the drawing dies than does 0 gauge wire.
		A circular mil is the area of a wire one mil in diameter.

	Wire gauge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wire gauge is therefore applicable to both electrical and non-electrical wires, thus it is important to electrical wiring and to structural cable.
		This is now the American wire gauge, and is used to a considerable extent in the U.S.A. The Imperial Standard Wire Gauge, which has been sanctioned by the British Board of Trade, is one that was formulated by J. Latimer Clark.
		In commerce, the sizes of wire are estimated by gauges which consist of plates of circular or oblong form having notches of different widths round their edges to receive wire and sheet metals of different thicknesses.

	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.

		There are some gauges out there that have a full sweep and are electrical but their price was around three times as much as the Autometer mechanical water temp gauge I ended up buying.
		I was thinking about VDO gauges because I have heard good things about them and they are inexpensive, however, their water temp gauge only had a 90 degree sweep and the mechanical Autometer had a full 270 degree sweep.
		Using the 14 gauge wire attach a round wire connector to the end of it and screw it onto the temp sender.

	PIC Wire & Cable
		The common standard for the diameter (gauge) of round drawn wire is the American Wire Gauge (AWG).
		House wiring is generally solid; wiring for machine tools, automobiles, and aircraft is almost all stranded — for flexibility and redundancy in the face of vibration.
		Stranded wires, then, are surrounded by additional strands, and if all the strands are of the same gauge, six of them fit, ideally, around the center strand.

	Wire Gauge Tables
		American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes may be determined by measuring the diameter of the conductor (the bare wire) with the insulation removed.
		When choosing wire gauge, the distance the wire must run and the amperage it will be expected to carry must be determined first.
		Find the amperes or watts the circuit is expected to carry on the left and the distance the wiring must run at the top - follow the columns until they intersect - for example, a 12 volt circuit which is 15 feet long and carries 10 amperes should use at least 16 gauge wire.

		For example, to see the effective gauge of a cable made from 27 24-gauge wires, select 24 gauge from the drop list, then type 27 into the number of wires field (and press the Tab key); the cable is effectively 10 gauge.
		For example, if you want to create a 15-gauge wire from 24-gauge wires, first select 24 gauge from the Wire Gauge list, then select 15 gauge from the Effective Gauge list; the required number of wires is 8.
		To find the effective gauge of a collection of wires, their total combined area is computed, and the closest matching entry in the table yields the result.

	A 1-Wire Rain Gauge - Maxim/Dallas
		Adding a rain gauge to the station requires only that it be connected to the 1-Wire bus by plugging it into the unused RJ11 connector on the weather station board.
		Adapting the standard tipping bucket rain gauge mechanism to operate on the 1-Wire net is a simple matter of wiring its reed switch between the power and count inputs of a DS2423 counter (see Figure 2).
		The rain gauge is a useful and desirable addition to the 1-Wire weather station and demonstrates the ease with which additional sensors may be added to a 1-Wire net.

	American Wire Gauge table and AWG Electrical Current Load Limits
		For the 00, 000, 0000 etc. gauges you use -1, -2, -3, which makes more sense mathematically than "double nought." This means that in American wire gage every 6 gauge decrease gives a doubling of the wire diameter, and every 3 gauge decrease doubles the wire cross sectional area.
		Metric Gauge: In the Metric Gauge scale, the gauge is 10 times the diameter in millimeters, so a 50 gauge metric wire would be 5 mm in diameter.
		Note that in AWG the diameter goes up as the gauge goes down, but for metric gauges it is the opposite.

		Since thicker wire carries more current because it has less electrical resistance over a given length, thicker wire is better for longer distances.
		For this reason, where extended distance is critical, a company installing a network might prefer telephone wire with the lower-gauge, thicker wire of AWG 24 to AWG 26.
		AWG is sometimes known as Brown and Sharpe (BandS) Wire Gauge.

		In telephone switching equipment and early computers, sets of bare wires were soldered in rows through terminals of similar equipment, like circuit-card connectors, so that each card plugged into a cage could have access to the same wires for communicating within the computer.
		Thus bare wire is often referred to as "bus wire".
