There are a number of different sets of data, in which '8 gauge' occurs. In the British system, a number 8 SWG (standard wire gauge) measures 4.064 mm. In a US system, a number 8 AWG (American Wire Gauge) measures 3.264 mm. There are also sheet steel gauges which differ from the above, and wire gauges for Musical Instruments have different definitions again. Different again, are the gauges used for hypodermic needles. It is vital to specify which gauge system you use.
