online calculator or formula applicable to gauge less than 50 SWG ?
All online and my tables stop at 50 SWG. I don't know if the standard copper
resistivity formula breaks down over/less than 50 SWG. Wire in question , measured optically to about 0.05 mm diameter as too fine to mike up. About 19.7 ohm per metre but what is that in AWG or SWG ? |

As a last resort, you could try drawing a graph of diameter or diameter-squared against SWG, AWG or resistance. If you can find a straight-line relationship, you can extrapolate to any value you need. I think you can still buy graph paper, rulers and pencils in shops - if you can find any shops. :-) -- ~ Adrian Tuddenham ~ (Remove the ".invalid"s and add ".co.uk" to reply) www.poppyrecords.co.uk |

By my math, your resistance figure translates to about 6000 ohms per 1000 ft., which would put it in the 48 AWG category. Diameter is going to vary significantly based on insulation. ..05 mm is about .002". If your micrometer can't measure that, you need a better micrometer. |

Wire in question , measured optically to about 0.05 mm diameter as too fine to mike up. About 19.7 ohm per metre but what is that in AWG or SWG ? Resistivity is calculated according to the following formula: rho = R x A / L where ... rho = resistivity = 1.68e-8 ohms/metre for copper R = resistance A = cross-sectional area L = length of material http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electri...d_conductivity Therefore ... A = rho / (R/L) = 1.68e-8 / 19.7 A = pi x r^2 = pi x (dia/2)^2 dia = 2 x sqrt(A / pi) = 2 x sqrt(1.68 x 10^-8 / 19.7 / pi) = 0.03295 mm http://www.google.com/search?&q=2+x+...-8+/+19.7+/+pi) According to the tables, your wire size appears to be 49 SWG. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_wire_gauge - Franc Zabkar -- Please remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |

"Nutcase Kook" All online and my tables stop at 50 SWG. I don't know if the standard copper resistivity formula breaks down over/less than 50 SWG. Wire in question , measured optically to about 0.05 mm diameter as too fine to mike up. About 19.7 ohm per metre but what is that in AWG or SWG ? ** Last time I dealt with fine enamelled wire like, that it was from the high impedance (output end ) transducer of an Accutronics reverb unit. But the finest I have seen is on the coil of an AKG D19 ( 200 ohms) mic capsule - about 0.03 mm. The D19 diaphragm was sold as a spare part and used in other mics, like the original D12. ......
