engineering data

For diameter calculation, remembering one diameter, the diameter will

double or halve every six gauges and for each gauge the next larger
gauge diameter is 0% or . times the smaller gauge. If you remember
six contiguous gauges in mils, e.g. - AWG, you would know all
diameters by this rule. Actually, if you just remember  AWG as . mils
and the spread between these gauges is . mil except between  and 0
where it is . mil and  and  is . mil, you will have quick access to all
gauge diameters.

Using this relationship, with the commitment to memory of the crosssectional area, resistance and mass per unit length for any one size, you
can move quickly to the value for any other wire size.

Then with a 0 AWG cross-section of 00 circular mils,  AWG will be

approximately 00 mils and  AWG will be approximately 0 circular
mils.

Since the function is geometric, the cube of this  / is approximately .

This allows you to easily calculate the dimensional functions in  gauge
increments. Every three gauge sizes the resistance, mass per unit length,
and cross-section will double or halve.

magnet wire / winding wire



This square of the ratio between sizes can be used as a means of obtaining
the resistance, mass and cross-section of any wire size if one has memorized
these values for only one size. This conversion number can be easily
remembered as ..

The square of this ratio is: .0

The American Wire Gauge, like some other gauge systems, does generally
represent steps in the wire drawing process. In addition to that, the numbers
are retrogressive to the wire size - that is, the larger the number the smaller the
wire. These gauge sizes are not arbitrary, but are a geometric progression.
With the definition of two sizes in the series of gauge sizes, all size related
properties of any gauge in the series is defined by that relationship. With AWG
0000 as 0.00 inch and AWG  as 0.000 and  gauge sizes between
these two, the ratio of any diameter to the next larger diameter can be
determined as follows:

AWG SYSTEM

Therefore:
Knowing 0 AWG has a cross-section of 00 circular mils tells us 
AWG will have  / x 00 or approximately 0 circular mils. If we had
memorized the resistance of 0 AWG as 0 ohms/000 feet,  AWG
would have less resistance by 0  / or approximately  ohms/000
feet.

ROUND, CONDUCTOR PROPERTIES

Although there is a world-wide trend to the International System (SI) or metric

measurement, the current practice in wire measurement in the United States
is generally the use of the customary English units. The current practice of the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), The Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and The American Society for
Testing and Materials (ASTM) is to reflect American Wire Gauge in parallel
with the metric units of measurement. In the technical tables of this publication,
this parallel practice is reflected.

* Maximum recommended tensions are based upon ,000 p.s.i. for copper and ,00 p.s.i. for aluminum. The units are listed in
Lbs. unless indicated by "Grams".

Note: Start-up acceleration surge can produce tensions well in excess of running tensions and need to be taken into consideration.

This table contains the maximum recommended winding tensions and is offered as a guide to establishing effective winding
tensions. Use the minimum winding tension that produces a good winding. The type of winder, payoff device, and type of coil will
vary the tensions used. Some minor variations in the softness of the wire from one lot to another may also dictate minor
adjustments.

Nominal AWG Size

The nominal AWG bare wire diameters, in inches, in this table are calculated using the basic mathematical characteristics of the American Wire Gauge:
X = (0.0050)(1.1229322)(36-N)
Where:
X = nominal bare wire diameter in inches to be determined
36 = the AWG number of the base diameter
0.0050 = nominal base diameter in inches for 36 AWG
N = the equivalent AWG number of X, where N is normally a whole number
39
1.1229322 = 92 = the ratio of the diameter of any AWG size to the (smaller) diameter of the next larger AWG size.
For sizes 4/0 to 2/0 AWG, N is a negative number from -3 to -1.

engineering data

Values are based on a resistivity of . ohm - circ. mil/ft. at 0C (.% IACS Conductivity) for soft, annealed 0 (EC) aluminum. In practice, conductors of higher conductivity
will often be encountered, yielding a resistance lower than that specificed when conductor dimensions are at or near maximum tolerance limits.

engineering data

Values are based on a resistivity of . ohm - circ. mil/ft. at 0C (.% IACS Conductivity). In practice, conductors of higher conductivity will often be encountered, yielding a resistance lower than
that specified here when conductor dimensions are at or near maximum tolerance limits.

Conductor Weight: Lb./000 Ft. x . = Kilograms/Kilometer

Feet/Lb. X 0. = Meters/Kilogram

Multiplicative factors are presented below to facilitate conversion of the rectangular wire data table values to the metric system:

The R-0 Series (for thickness) and R-0 Series (for width) are presented in millimeters
and inches for comparison.

Preferred Number Series values in inches (rounded to nearest 0.00") represent a

conversion from original computations in millimeters, thus making identical wire sizes
available worldwide.

Mathematically, the Preferred Numbers form a geometrical series (with a constant ratio
between adjacent numbers) based on the 0th or 0th root of 0. The latter is called the R0 Series, and is assigned to intermediate width values for rectangular wire. The R-0
series (with the 0th root of 0 as the ratio) is used to define Preferred wire thickness and
width divisions.

The need for a workable system of standardization for rectangular wire has been
recognized for many years, but the Preferred Number Series is the first to achieve worldwide attention and a significant degree of acceptance. This acceptance is especially
apparent in the case of rectangular aluminum wire, where the recent development of
many new user designs has permitted incorporation of wire sizes conforming to the series.
The series has been adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission and is
being incorporated into all new NEMA Magnet Wire Standards for rectangular wires of
both copper and aluminum.

RECTANGULAR WIRE

engineering data

NOTE: The arc is not necessarily

tangent to the flats at points A.
However, the wire shall be
commercially free of sharp, rough, or
projecting edges.

A rounded edge is an edge

produced by rolling round wire to the
size specified either with or without
edging rolls.

** A rounded edge is an edge produced by rolling round wire to the size specified either
with or without edging rolls (see below).

* Square wire 0.072 in. (1.83 mm) and under shall have a corner radius of 0.012 in.

A full rounded edge is an

edge with corner radii
that are essentially half
the thickness of the wire.

engineering data

Values are based on a resistivity of . ohm - circ. mil/ft. at 0C (.% IACS Conductivity). In practice, conductors of higher conductivity will often be encountered, yielding a resistance lower than that
specified here when conductor dimensions are at or near maximum tolerance limits.
