2. Sheet metal - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_metal

   Manufacturers' Standard Gauge for Sheet Steel is based on an average density of 41.82 lb per square foot per inch thick, [11] equivalent to 501.84 pounds per cubic foot (8,038.7 kg/m 3). Gauge is defined differently for ferrous (iron-based) and non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminium and brass).

3. American wire gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_wire_gauge

   American Wire Gauge (AWG) is a logarithmic stepped standardized wire gauge system used since 1857, predominantly in North America, for the diameters of round, solid, nonferrous, electrically conducting wire. Dimensions of the wires are given in ASTM standard B 258. [1] The cross-sectional area of each gauge is an important factor for ...

4. Birmingham gauge - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_gauge

   In medicine, the Birmingham gauge specifies the outside diameter of hypodermic needles, catheters, cannulae and suture wires. It was originally developed in early 19th-century England for use in wire manufacture, and began appearing in a medical setting in the early 20th century. Another common needle gauge system is the French catheter scale.

5. Gauge block - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_block

   A gauge block is a block of metal or ceramic with two opposing faces ground precisely flat and parallel, a precise distance apart. Standard grade blocks are made of a hardened steel alloy, while calibration grade blocks are often made of tungsten carbide (WC), chromium carbide (CrC) or ceramic (SiO 2 -based) because they are harder and wear ...
