The Stubs system was the first wire gauge recognized as a standard by any country when Great Britain adopted it in 1884.</P> <P>The gauge starts at the lowest gauge number of 5&Oslash; or 00000, corresponding to the largest size of 0.500" (12.7mm <A href="http://www.ironwires.com/Electro-Galvanized-Wire/"><STRONG>Electro Galvanized Wire</STRONG></A>) to the highest gauge number of 26, corresponding to the smallest size of 0.018" (0.46mm). Size steps between gauges range from .002" between high gauge numbers to .046" between low gauge numbers and do not correspond to a particular mathematical pattern, although for the most part the steps get smaller as the gauge number goes up. Concerning wire and fine tubing, the gauge number is used to specify the outside diameter of the product, whereas for larger mechanical tubing the gauge number specifies the wall thickness independent of the overall size of the tube.</P> <P>In medicine, the Stubs system specifies the outside diameter of hypodermic needles, catheters, and suture wires. It was originally developed in early 19th-century England for use in wire manufacture, and it began appearing in a medical setting in the early 20th century.</P> <P><A href="http://www.ironwires.com/Hot-Dipped-Galvanized-Wire/"><STRONG>Hot Dipped Galvanized Wire</STRONG></A></P> <P>Another common needle gauge system is the French catheter scale.</P> <P>A common approximation used for medical needles is diameter (in inches) is equal to the reciprocal of the gauge. In other words, a 23g is really 1/23 of an inch (in lumen diameter of the needle).</P> <P>Needle wire gauge was derived from the Stubs Iron Wire Gauge.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P></font><hr color="#000000" />If you want to see more news, Please <a href="../knowledge/">Click Here</a></DIV> </DIV> </div> </div> </DIV> </div> </div> <DIV class=footerAll> <DIV class=footerHTML> <table width="100%" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" class="language"> <tr> <td><a href='javascript:translator("en|en")' ><img src="../images/ico_english.gif" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> English</a></td> <td><a href='javascript:translator("en|de")' ><img src="../images/ico_deutsch1.gif" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> German</a></td> <td><a href='javascript:translator("en|es")' ><img src="../images/ico_espanol.gif" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> Spanish</a></td> <td><a href='Javascript:translator("en|fr")' ><img src="../images/ico_francies.gif" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> French</a></td> <td><a href='javascript:translator("en|it")' ><img src="../images/ico_italino.gif" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> Italian</a></td> <td><a href='javascript:translator("en|pt")' ><img src="../images/ico_portgues.gif" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> Portuguese</a></td> <td><a href='javascript:translator("en|ja")' ><img src="../images/ico_japan.jpg" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> Japanese</a></td> <td><a href='javascript:translator("en|ko")' ><img src="../images/ico_korea.jpg" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> Korean</a></td> <td><a href='javascript:translator("en|ar")' ><img src="../images/ico_arabia.jpg" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> Arabic</a></td> <td><a href='javascript:translator("en|ru")' ><img src="../images/ico_russia.jpg" width="20" height="14" border="0" align="absmiddle" /> Russian</a></td> </tr> </table><img src="../images/payment_methods_01.gif" width="179" height="28" /> </DIV> <DIV class=sayu align="center"> <div align="center" style="padding-bottom:15px;"><span class="footerHTML"><font size="+0"><img alt="" src="../images/tr.gif" />&copy; 2010 <a href="http://www.ironwires.com/">Iron wire</a> - Anping Sun Iron wire Co.,Ltd Telephone:<b>86-318-5289996</b> Email: <a href="mailto:sun@Sun-wiremesh.com"><b>sun@Sun-wiremesh.com</b></a></font></span></a><br /> <a href="http://www.wire-fenceing.com/" target="_blank">wire mesh fence</a>, <a href="http://www.weldmesh.org/">welded wire mesh</a>, <a href="http://www.stainless-wire-mesh.net/">stainless steel wire mesh</a>, <a href="http://www.chain-link-fencing.net/" target="_blank">chain link fence</a>, <a href="http://www.ironwires.com/">galvanized wire</a>, <a href="http://www.perforated-metal-mesh.com/">perforated metal</a>, <a href="http://www.sun-expandedmetal.com/" target="_blank">expanded metal</a>, <a href="http://www.gabions-china.com/" target="_blank">gabion</a></div> </DIV> </DIV> <marquee height=1 width=5 SCROLLAMOUNT=3000 SCROLLDELAY=20000> <a href="http://www.shineyondgabion.com/" target="_blank">gabion</a>,<a href="http://www.shineyondwire.com/" target="_blank">Galvanized Wire</a>,<a href="http://www.shineyondgabion.com/product-273-Gabion-Box.html" target="_blank">Gabion Box</a>,<a href="http://www.shineyondwire.com/product-272-Big-Coil-Galvanized-Wire.html" target="_blank">galvanized iron wire</a>,<a href="http://www.shineyondwire.com/product-274-Electro-Galvanized-Wire.html" target="_blank">electro galvanized wire</a>,<a href="http://www.shineyondwire.com/product-283-Straight-&-Cut-Wire.html" target="_blank">Cut Wire</a>,<a href="http://www.shineyondwire.com/product-275-Armoured-Cable-Wire.html" target="_blank">Armoured Cable Wire</a>,<a href="http://www.shineyondwire.com/product-282-PVC-Binding-Wire.html" target="_blank">binding wire</a>,<a href="http://www.shineyondwire.com/product-277-Black-Annealed-Wire.html" target="_blank">annealed wire</a>,<a href="http://www.jtsteelgrating.com/" target="_blank">steel grating</a>,<a href="http://www.shineyondwire.com/product-273-Hot-Dipped-Galvanized-Wire.html" target="_blank">hot dipped galvanized iron wire</a> </MARQUEE> </body> </html>
