3、of Defense.1. Scope1.1 This specification prescribes standard nominal diameters and cross-sectional areas of American Wire Gage (AWG) sizes ofsolid round wires, used as electrical conductors, and gives equations and rules for the calculation of standard nominal mass andlengths, resistances, and brea

4、king strengths of such wires (Explanatory Note 1).1.2 The values stated in inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Each system shall be usedindependently of the other. Combining values of the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. Forconductor size

5、s designated by AWG or kcmil sizes, the requirements in SI units have been numerically converted from thecorresponding values stated or derived, in inch-pound units. For conductor sizes designated by SI units only, the requirements arestated or derived in SI units.1.2.1 For density, resistivity and
