  2. Wire gauge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wire_gauge

    Between each step the diameter, or thickness, diminishes by 10.557%, and the area and weight diminish by ~ 20%. None of the above systems of measurement is part of the metric system . The current British Standard for metallic materials including wire is BS 6722 :1986, which is a solely metric standard, superseding 3737:1964, which used the SWG ...

  3. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

    In the U.S., the thickness of sheet metal is commonly specified by a traditional, non-linear measure known as its gauge. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the metal. Commonly used steel sheet metal ranges from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge. Gauge differs between ferrous metals and nonferrous metals such as aluminum or copper. Copper ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_gauge

    The Birmingham gauge ranges from 5/0 or 00000, the lowest gauge number corresponding to the largest size of 0.500 inches (12.7 mm), to 36, the highest gauge number corresponding to the smallest size of 0.004 inches (0.10 mm). The increments between gauge sizes are not linear and vary. [2]

    A standard wire gauge. The British Standard Wire Gauge, often referred to as the Standard Wire Gauge or simply SWG, is a unit used to denote wire gauge (size) as defined by BS 3737:1964, a standard that has since been withdrawn. It is also known as the Imperial Wire Gauge or British Standard Gauge. Although its use has significantly declined ...

  8. Galvannealed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galvannealed

    Production of galvannealed sheet steel begins with hot dip galvanization of sheet steel. After passing through the galvanizing zinc bath the sheet steel passes through air knives to remove excess zinc, and is then heated in an annealing furnace for several seconds causing iron and zinc layers to diffuse into one another causing the formation of zinc-iron alloy layers at the surface.

  9. Gauge block - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_block

    The individual gauge block is a metal or ceramic block that has been precision ground and lapped to a specific thickness. Gauge blocks come in sets of blocks with a range of standard lengths. In use, the blocks are stacked to make up a desired length (or height). Gauge blocks were invented in 1896 by Swedish machinist Carl Edvard Johansson. [1]
