In the table below you will find:
- Cont.counts: in round wire
in biconvex wire
in ovoide wire
- The number of points/inch² for each of the count numbers.
- Comparison figure for resistance, against the different count numbers.
- The dimensions in mm. of the several wire sizes in round, biconvex and ovoide wire.
The figures in the column resistance are for comparison i.e. the resitance rate of
bending to the corresponding diameters.
