14-3 Is the standard wire use for residental smoke detectors.
It could be anywhere from 36 to 48SWG
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
Well I am asnwering this just because the body piercing industry uses AWG (American Wire Gauge) for a standard jewellery gauge. So 14g is thicker than 18g, the higher the number the thinner it is, the lower the number the thicker it is.
Sorry, there is no such wire size as "30 gauge" in the AWG (American Wire Gauge) system. For the ampacity rating of all standard conductor sizes, go to Table 310-16 of the National Electric Code. If you mean what wire size will carry 30 amps then a #10 copper wire insulation rating of 90 degree C is rated at 30 amps.
Standard Wire Gauge refers to a set of wire sizes.
Twisted pair wires are rated by the American Wire Gauge (AWG) standard
Standard 23 gauge wire is (0.0226 inches/0.57404 mm) thick in diameter.
It was a system used to specify the thickness or diameter of metal wire. It was improved and renamed British Standard Wire Gauge in 1883, usually abbreviated to SWG.
AWG is American wire gauge and SWG means Standard wire gauge .. swg+1=awg according to my calculation...

Yes. It is abbreviated as AWG. For example, in residential wiring the size wire to use on a 15 Amp circuit would be 14 gauge or 14 AWG.
For a wire classified under American Wire Gauge standards, 26 gauge wire is 0.0159" (0.40386 mm) in dameter. For a wire classified undere metric wire gauge standards, a 26 gauge wire is 2.6mm in diameter. Metric gauges are calculated simply by multiplying the diameter, in mm, by 10 and therefore increase as the diameter increases, unlike the AWG standard.
The size of the wire is stated by its gauge under American Wire Gauge. Six gauge wire is size 6 AWG.
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.
