I seen somewhere not so long ago a plastic credit card size wire gauge. It had all different sized cut outs in it so you could offer up a conductor in order to correctly size it. cant find anything decent that's measured in mm.

Its just to quickly size a conductor if in doubt
 
make your own from a bit of metalplate' . calculate the diameter using A = Π Γ²
 
That one I linked to, I'm pretty sure that is giving the diameters, rather than the CSA.

You'd need to work it out differently for stranded if you make your own.

Do you have some digital calipers?

Then just make a table to print out of CSA & diameter and use the calipers to check.

I can upload the xlsx file if you want it to make it look prettier or change it about a bit.
