'''[[Great Britain|British]] Standard Wire Gauge''', or Imperial wire gauge, is a set of wire sizes given by BS 3737:1964, and is generally abbreviated to SWG. Use of SWG sizes has fallen greatly in popularity, but is still in use. Cross sectional area in square millimetres is now a more popular size measurement.
 
Also known as: Imperial wire gauge, British Standard Gauge.
 
SWG was fixed by [[Order of Council]] [[August 23]] [[1883]]. It was constructed by improving the [[Birmingham Wire Gauge]]. Made legal standard [[March 1]] [[1884]].
