Aspect Ratio Calculator & Jump Ring Size Finder

Aspect ratio (A.R.) for jump rings is the inner diameter (I.D.) of the ring divided by wire thickness.
EXAMPLE: 3/8" (0.375") I.D. ring of 16 gauge AWG (0.0508") wire would be: 0.375 / 0.0508 = 7.382 A.R.

Instructions:
  • Enter Desired AR and Percent Deviation
  • Select Min and Max Gauges, Min and Max Inner Diameters
  • For other Diameters and Gauges, select the closest match using Inches
    and Millimeters text fields as guides
  • Choose a Sort Field and I.D. Increments
  • Check to include metric drawplate gauges or not

All combinations of AWG, SWG, and metric gauges with SAE and metric inner
diameters will be calculated according to the selected parameters.
