Grrrrr

I never heard of a "metric wire gauge", must be something the yanks dreamed up to make their silly gauges look more superior :-0

Metric wires are usually referred by their cross sectional area, since it is the area that's important to the current. Why? think of multistrand wires. Many insulated wires, other than coil or some house wiring are multi strand anyway. So, instead of saying 19 strand x whatever gauge , the total cross sectional area is given in sq mm and this is easy referred to a current carrying table.
Common metric wire area sizes are:
0.5 sq mm
1
1.5
2.5
4
6
10
16
25.......

the larger the area, the bigger the current capacity, sounds logical and simple, does it not?
Now compare that to gauge sizes :-0

Hi Klaus (or do you prefer V8 troopie),

Check out this site. It is probably a better one for the purposes I was wanting it for

AWG Metric

or if that didn't work

Check out this site for the explanation of why the US gallon is smaller. The answer is correct. The site is not having a lend of you.

Why is it so
