AWG and SWG Size Conversion Calculator with Formula, Chart & Table

Standard Wire Gauge “SWG” Calculator

The following American Wire Gauge “AWG” and Standard Wire Gauge “SWG” calculators will calculate the wire diameter in mm, inches, wire cross sectional area in mm2, inches2 and kcmil or MCM.

To calculate the values, just select or enter the AWG/SWG size and hit the “Calculate” button to get the result of different properties of SWG/AWG cables and wires such as diameter in millimeter “mm” and inches “in”, cross-sectional area in square millimeter “mm2“, square inches “in2” and kilo Circular Mils “kcmil or MCM”.

Good to Know:

  • AWG or American Wire Gauge is also known as “Brown and Sharpe Wire Gauge” used in North America for wire sizing.
  • SWG or Standard Wire Gauge used for wire sizing and properties is also known as “British Standard Wire Gauge” and “British Standard Gauge” or “Imperial Wire Gauge”.

AWG/SWG Wire Diameter in mm & Inch, Area in mm2, inch2 & kcmil Calculations

The following SWG/AWG wire size conversion formulas and equation can be used to easily measure the values of wires and cables.

Wire Diameter Area in “mm” Calculation

dn = 27 x 10-3 x 92(36-n)/39

Wire Diameter in “inches” Calculation

dn = 5 x 10-3 x 92(36-n)/39

Wire Cross Sectional Area in “mm2” Calculation

An = 12.668 x 10-3 x 92(36-n)/19.5

Wire Cross Sectional Area in “icnhes2” Calculation

An = 19635 x 10-6 x 92(36-n)/19.5

Wire Cross Sectional Area in “kcmil” Calculation

An = 0.025 x 92(36-n)/19.5

Where:

  • n = Number of the wire gauge size in AWG/SWG. 
  • d = The wire diameter in inches, mm, inches2, & mm2 respectively.
  • An = Cross sectional area of “n” gauge wire size in inches2, “mm2” & kcmil respectively.
  • R = Resistance of the wire in Ω/kft & Ω/km respectively.
  • ρ = rho = resistivity in (Ω·m).
