    B.W.G. - Birmingham Wire Gauge The Wall Thickness of Pipes - Gauge and Decimal Parts of An Inch

    Uploaded by

    Bradley Golden
    The Birmingham Wire Gauge (BWG) is a standard system for specifying the thickness of pipe walls and wire diameter. It assigns gauge numbers that correspond to specific wall thicknesses in decimal inches. Lower BWG numbers indicate thicker pipe walls. The BWG was commonly used for drill rods, tool steel wire, and when pipe wall thickness was listed without specifying the measurement standard.

    - Birmingham Wire Gauge

    The wall thickness of pipes - gauge and decimal parts of an inch.

    Wall thickness of a pipe is normally given in decimal part of an inch rather than as
    fraction or gage number. When gauge numbers are given for a pipe without reference to a
    system, Birmingham Wire Gauge - BWG - is implied. Birmingham Wire Gauge is also
    known as Stubs' Wire Gauge, used for drill rod and tool steel wire.
