Actually no. Because there are no standards for rim inner diameter, hub flange diameter, hub flange spacing, rim width, offset/dish, and there are multiple lacing patterns (radial, 2/3/4 cross, asymmetrical, etc), there are several dozen spoke sizes separated by about 0.5-1.0mm. Measuring them in inches would be a gigantic pain in the ass because you'd be working in 64ths.

Because of the huge range of sizes and different types of spoke material/geometry, it is quite common to just have a couple sizes and trim/thread to fit. Pic related.
