There are many gauge steel in a steel garage. It really depends on the kind of steel garage that you have and what kind of steel that you like to you in that steel garage.
This depends on where you live; if you live in coastal areas or areas with high humidity levels, you shouldn’t get a wooden garage door. You need to make sure your door fits the local climate in terms of tropical storms as well - there are aluminum wind-resistant doors out there, and they can be great for areas prone to hurricane storms.
Assuming you mean electrically, Copper is roughly 10 times less electrically-resistant than steel. That is probably the best measurement to gauge by for what you are asking.
Steel is supplied in may forms by a number of retailers. Your local hardware store or big box home store has some basic shapes and sizes of steel, including steel pipe. For more shapes and sizes, industrial metal suppliers can get you what you need. Need a 12' x 12' piece of 4" mild steel plate or a 1000-foot roll of 10' wide 18 gauge 440 stainless sheet steel? You can get this and much, much more. Steel is available in a zillion shapes and sizes, and in hundreds of different alloys.
No; steel is an iron-carbon alloy. Stainless steel is an alloy of steel with chromium added. Stainless steel is usually 13-25% chromium (by weight).
Diameter of an 8 AWG wire is 0.12849 inches. 8 AWG is solid, not stranded.
The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel.
The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel.
I think a steel garage is better than a wood garage because wood can rot and steel can't. Steel is a more reliable choice.
Yes it is.
16 gauge steel is 0.0598in. (1.52mm) and 16 gauge galvanised steel is 0.0635 (1.61). The easy way to remember is 16 gauge is 1.6mm
20 gauge is thicker (the lower the number, the thicker the steel).
11 gauge steel is 0.125 inches thick.
Depends on what you are using if for.
No. The larger the number, the thinner the steel. 16 gauge is the thicker of the two.
GAUGE , is one inch thick of steel or metal. So, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 12 equal thickness sheets , you get a 12 gauge steel sheet. Similarly, take this one inch thick of steel sheet and cut it into 14 equal thickness sheets , you get a 14 gauge steel sheet. and so on . So, a 12 gauge steel sheet is thicker than 14 gauge , 14 is thicker than 16 , 16 is thicker than 18 and so on. Wrong!!! See my discussion on this...
They are close but not the same. For example, 14 gauge steel is .0781 inches thick while 14 gauge steel wire is .083 inches thick.
The finish of a product would be considered as heavy gauge steel. For instance, an espresso maker could have a heavy gauge stainless steel finish.
