I just remembered I have the "standard" equation written down for finding the diameter D (in inches) of an AWG gauge wire of gauge N. AWG is by far the most common gauge. Here it goes.
D=.005(92^(1/39))^(36-N). Yes, some brilliant soul decided to use the 39th root of 92.

Thank you, Chris. I have just completed what is possibly the most pointless piece of work ever. I wrote a spreadsheet to test your equation and checked it against a table of AWG. Perfect.

Perfectly useless. You see, we don't use American Wire Gauge in the UK (never did), we don't even use Standard Wire Gauge any more. We're metric.
