  1. Electrical AWG:

    it can vary. of course you have stranded, welding cable and solid. when wire is manufactured it is designed by an engineer. there is no set cross sectional width that it has to be. 18awg is based on how much current it can carry at a certain temperature.

    so keep in mind that it can vary, but as a start, tlbs101's answer of: "0.0403 inches nominal diameter" cant vary by more than a few hundredths of a percent for solid wire.


  2. AWG 18: 0.0403 inches nominal diameter.

    .

  3. Wire No: 18    

    1.SWG
