The standard guitar string gauges in millimeters are typically as follows:
The metric unit typically used to measure the thickness of guitar strings is millimeters (mm). This measurement helps determine the gauge or diameter of the string, which in turn can affect the tone and playability of the instrument.
These two terms refer to the distance between rail tracks.The most common rail gauge in the world is standard gauge, also called Stephenson gauge, which is 1435 mm between the tracks. Approximately 60% of the railways in the world are standard gauge.Narrow gauge is anything narrow than this, broad gauge is anything wider.Common narrow gauges are:metre gauge (1000 mm) cape gauge (1067 mm or 3 ft 6 in).Common broad gauges are:Russian gauge (1520 mm) Irish gauge (1600 mm)Iberian gauge (1668 mm)Indian gauge (1676 mm)
The standard railway gauge is 1435 mm, or 4 feet 8 1/2 inches. Many other gauges are in use around the world, but the standard gauge is the most common.
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.
0.73-0.81 mm
around 0.8 mm
Slip gauges (also known as gage blocks, Johansson gauges, or Gauge blocks) are precision ground and lapped measuring standards. They are used as references for the setting of measuring equipment such as micrometers, gap gauges, sine bars, dial indicators (when used in an inspection role). They are available in various grades depending on their intended use. · Calibration (AA) - (tolerance +0.00010 mm to -0.00005 mm) · Reference (AAA) -high tolerance (± 0.00005 mm or 0.000002 in) inspection (A) - (tolerance +0.00015 mm to -0.00005 mm) · workshop (B) - low tolerance (tolerance +0.00025 mm to -0.00015mm
Standard is 0.01 mm
190 mm
The most common gauge is 'standard gauge', or 'Stephenson Gauge' which is 1435 mm (originally 4 ft 8½ inches). Standard Gauge is used by 60% of the world's railways1435 mm Standard Gauge is used on most of Europe, North America, China and parts of South America, Africa and Australia.1520 mm is used in Russia and countries which used to be part of the Russian Empire.1600 mm is used in Ireland and parts of South America and Australia.1668 mm is used in Spain and Portugal.1676 mm is used in India and Pakistan.1000 mm is used for some branch lines and trams in Europe, and in parts of South America and Australia.1067 mm (3 ft 6 in) is used in Japan and parts of South America, Africa and Australia.Plus many other gauges used locally for short sections of railway.New High Speed lines are built to Standard Gauge, even in countries that do not use Standard Gauge (Japan, Spain) because it is cheaper to use existing designs for the trains.
Width of broad-gauge in railways is 5'6".Answer 2Broad gauge means the rails are farther apart than the 1435mm used in "Standard gauge" railways. There are a number of different broad gauges in use. For example:1520 mm used in Russia and countries which used to be part of the Russian Empire.1600 mm used in Ireland1668 mm used in Spain and Portugal.1676 mm used in India and Pakistan.
The thickness of a string is typically measured in millimeters (mm) or gauge.
