Casio fx-5800p and HP Prime: American Wire Gauge (AWB)
Everyone, I wish you all a Happy Holiday season, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm thankful for all of you. Wishing you the best! - Eddie
Introduction
The following formula calculates the diameter of an American Wire Gauge:
d = 460 / (92^((3 + g)/39)) (in mils)
where g is the wire number (integer).
Define g as:
Wire number: 0000000, g = -6
Wire number: 000000, g = -5
Wire number: 00000, g = -4
Wire number: 0000, g = -3
Wire number: 000, g = -2
Wire number: 00, g = -1
Wire number: 0, g = 0
Any other wire number, enter g as the wire number (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.)
Conversion factor: 1000 mils = 1 in
Cross area of the wire:
a = d^2
Casio fx-5800p Program WIRES
Given the wire number, the program WIRES returns the diameter of the wire in inches and the cross sectional area in square inches.
"WIRE NUMBER: "? → G
460 ÷ (92 ^((3 + G) ÷ 39)) → D
D ÷ 1000 → D
D^2 → A

HP Prime Program Function AWB
Given the wire number, the function AWB returns the diameter of the wire in inches.
EXPORT AWG(g)
BEGIN
// American Wire Gauge Diameter Function

// in inches
RETURN (460/(92^((3+g)/39)))/1000;
END;
Examples:
g = -2 (000); d ≈ 0.4096 in, a ≈ 0.1678 in^2
g = 3; d ≈ 0.2294 in, a ≈ 0.0526 in^2
g = 6; d ≈ 0.1620 in, a ≈ 0.0263 in^2
