SWG, or Standard Wire Gauge, is used to measure the size (diameter) of conductors and the thickness of sheets. It is a system developed historically for wire diameter measurement, primarily used in Great Britain.

• Definition: SWG is a standardized system for measuring wire sizes, where a lower gauge number indicates a thicker wire.
• Applications: It is commonly used in various industries, including electrical wiring and manufacturing, to ensure compatibility and safety.
• Conversion: Although SWG remains relevant for specific applications, wire sizes are increasingly measured in metric units (millimeters) in modern contexts.
