    No. 7/0, the largest size, is 0.50 in. (500 thou or 12.7 mm) dia., No. 1 is 0.30 in. ( 300 thou ), and the smallest, No. 50, is 0.001 in. ( 1 thou or 25.4 µm ). The system as a whole approximates an exponential curve , plotting diameter against gauge-number (each size is a approximately a constant multiple of the previous size).
