They are close but not the same. For example, 14 gauge steel is .0781 inches thick while 14 gauge steel wire is .083 inches thick.
The thickness of the wire.
The Pirani gauge is a robust thermal conductivity gauge used for the measurement of the pressures in vacuum systems. This gauge is used to measure the pressure between 0.5 torr to 10-4 torr.

I am building a house and recently burned a pile of scrap lumber. We found several nicely cleaned copper wires in the ashes and relized we had inadvertently thrown in a couple short lengths of plastic wrapped wiring. It was nicely cleaned and this method might work well for you if you are talking about a small volume of wire. Not very technical, but successful! I think the melting plastic could release harmful vapors so I wouldn't recommend doing this with large volumes of wire without addition research or comments from an expert! Good Luck!

Yes, which is why we get wire of various gauges and tensile strength. The copper wire used in electricity is one example.
Copper can be drawn into wire because its elastic strength is lower than its tensile strength. If it were the other way around the copper would be brittle and break from being drawn. To draw wire from copper it is usually annealed first (heated to reduce its elasticity) then drawn into rods through a thimble, then progressively drawn though smaller and smaller dies to reduce its diameter to the preferred gauge or size. As the copper is drawn through the dies it heats up from friction and actually needs to be cooled to prevent it from breaking, as this annealing actually reduces the tensile strength of the copper as well. *elastic strength is the strength of material that resists permanent deformation of the material. Tensile strength is the resistance to the material being pulled apart.
to calulate the tensile strength of a copper wire is that get mass/weights, a clamp stand, a g clamp, a copper wire and a boss head. Tie a loop from a wire and hang it on the edge of the clamp stand, put the g clamp on the clamp stando it dosent fall of, anyway after you tie a loop at each ends of the copper wire hook the edge of the weights at the bottom of the loop keep putting on weights until it snaps and make sure you have googles on.
copper has no linear portion to their stress-strain curve, so the offset method cannot be used. The European Standard for general-purpose copper rod, EN 12163 (Ref 8), gives approximate 0.2% proof strength.
use a stronger wire for longer antennas...the gauge may not be as important as the strength if you string it outside.
34 gauge copper wire will work but to use the 35 gauge copper wire is the best choice
A Reddish metal, a good conductor of electricity and heat, ductility, tensile strength, malleability, and good, clean fun!
The tensile strength of steel wire refers to its ability to withstand pulling or stretching forces without breaking. Higher tensile strength means the wire can bear more weight or tension. This property affects the performance of steel wire in different applications, such as construction, manufacturing, and engineering. In applications where strong and durable materials are needed, steel wire with high tensile strength is preferred for better performance and reliability.
Copper wire gauge sizes are not equivalent to aluminum wire gauge sizes. The gauge sizes for copper and aluminum wires are different due to their differing electrical conductivity properties. It is not possible to directly convert a copper wire size to an equivalent aluminum wire size.
The recommended gauge of wire for a 50 amp circuit is typically 6 AWG (American Wire Gauge) for copper wire.
The recommended gauge for copper wire to handle a 100 amp load is typically 3 AWG (American Wire Gauge).
Weight of copper wire is measured by the American Wire Gauge. Determining factors are whether or not it is solid wire, insulated and the area.
