1.20mm to gage for chain maile
A great question for all you chainmail enthusiasts out there!
To convert a wire diameter from millimeters (mm) to gauge, we need to use a wire gauge chart. Here's a common one:
Gauge | Diameter (mm) | Diameter (in) |
---|---|---|
20 | 0.80 | 0.0315 |
18 | 0.91 | 0.0357 |
16 | 1.02 | 0.0402 |
14 | 1.15 | 0.0453 |
12 | 1.29 | 0.0508 |
10 | 1.43 | 0.0565 |
8 | 1.59 | 0.0625 |
6 | 1.83 | 0.0722 |
4 | 2.11 | 0.0831 |
2 | 2.59 | 0.1020 |
Now, let's convert 1.20 mm to gauge:
Gauge | Diameter (mm) | Diameter (in) |
---|---|---|
... | ... | ... |
14 | 1.15 | 0.0453 |
12 | 1.29 | 0.0508 |
10 | 1.43 | 0.0565 |
8 | 1.59 | 0.0625 |
... | ... | ... |
So, 1.20 mm is equivalent to a wire gauge of 10.
Keep in mind that different wire gauge charts may have slightly different values, but this conversion should be close enough for most chainmail-making purposes.
