Here's the formula for converting American (or Brown and Sharpe) wire gauge to millimeters:
dn = 0.005 mm x 25.4 x 92 36-n/39
With this formula, you can convert a wire gauge size to the diameter of the wire in millimeters. The dn is the diameter of the wire in millimeters, as you might have guessed, and the n in the exponent is the gauge of the wire you wish to find the diameter of.
Wikipedia has a fine article on this. They have the formula for converting wire gauge to diameter as well as one for calculating cross-sectional area. They also explain where the formula comes from, if you're interested. The formula for converting from diameter to the wire gauge, the inverse of this formula, is also listed, as is a chart. A link is provided for you convenience. Another link is also provided to an online calculator that will let you just put in a diameter or a wire gauge and will do all the work for you. (Note that this calculator works in inches and not millimeters, so you'll have to make a conversion.)
Improved Answer By Sandip Vikma :"Above original formula is difficult to calculate. So, you may use bellow derived formula to convert Gauge into MM".
dn = 0.127 x 92 [0.9230769-0.025641026n]
Where,
dn = Thickness in MM.
n = Thickness in Gauge.

What is the formula for conversion of AWG to metric?
AWG is American Wire Gauge. Just as you would convert inches to any metric value you can follow the same process for wire gauge. Example: AWG 14 gauge wire is 0.0641 if you were to convert this to metric you would use 25.40 which is a conversion number for inches to mm. therefore 25.40 x 0.0641 = 1.628mm rounded would be 1.63mm

A scientist is working with 10 meters of gold wire. How long is the wire in millimeters
How do you convert inches to millimeters and back?
First, convert inches to centimeters. One inch is equivalent to 2.5 centimeters. Then, convert to millimeters- one centimeter is ten millimeters.
What is 16 inches convert to millimeters?

What is the gauge of the needle?
I've never seen a table of direct conversions but I've included tables of wire gauge in millimeters and needle size in millimeters. They aren't exact matches, but you may find matches that are close enough for your purposes.
What is an ear gauge?
Well there actually is no such thing as an ear gauge. However there is such a thing as a jewellery gauge which is the thickness of the of the jewellery based on either Millimeters or AWG (American Wire Gauge as used in the professional body piercing industry.

How big is 6 gauge wire?
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
Is 8 gauge weld wire fencing stronger than 10 gauge wire?
Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. So, 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.
