What does SWG mean in tubing?
Standard Wire Gauge
SWG stands for “Standard Wire Gauge” (also called “Imperial Wire Size”) and is an alternative way – to BWG – to indicate steel tubing’s wall thickness.
How do you measure a tube gauge?
How to Measure a Gauge of Metal Tubing
- Bring the “inside jaws” of the vernier caliper together until their distance is about 0.25 inches less than the internal diameter of the tube.
- Slide the jaws inside the opening of the tube.
- Rest the bottom jaw on the internal surface of the tube.

What schedule is 16 gauge?
065 inches is “named”, or called out as, “1-1/2 inch 16 gauge tube”. A pipe’s proper “name” is called out by the nominal pipe size, or wall thickness. This is known as “schedule” or Sch.
How do you measure the thickness of steel tubing?
SIZE: And regardless of its material, steel tube is measured by its actual outside diameter (OD). For instance, the diameter of a 1 ¼” tube is a true 1.25″, while a 1 ¼” pipe is 1.625″. The wall thickness of thinner tubing is measured by gauge while thicker tubing is measured in fractions or millimeters.
