Hello norlaili suryati zakaria,

The Internet Search Engines are a great help.

Mr Google showed me a useful website in under a second.

Refer to the Wire Tables here:

http://mdmetric.com/tech/wiregage.htm

Note that there is both UK SWG and US SWG.

Select Gauge Number from the number in the left hand column.

I assume you are able to read off the table, horizontally along the particular Gauge No. for the particular Standard you want.

Examples:

  1. No. 8 SWG is 4.064mm diameter.
  2. No. 10 SWG is 3.251mm diameter.

For straining: Contact the manufacturer, as various tensile strength wires are used, and you need the specific tension/tensile strength for the actual wire Brand/Specification you are using.

If you are still in trouble, advise here with..........
