Why is 10 gauge shower curtain heavier than a 6 gauge but sheet metal and wire it is the other way around?
The sizes of wire and sheet metal are not based on thickness or weight, but the number of times that the metal has to be drawn through the process to make it any given thickness. The higher the number the more often it has had to be drawn to make it thinner, so "1 gauge" is the original rod "10 gauge" is the same rod after being drawn 10 times. The sizes of plastics are measured using a micrometer, so the sizes are thicker 1 mil = 1/1000 inch = 25.4 micron = 100 gauge.

What is thicker 20 0r 18 gauge?
When it comes to the measurement gauge, the smaller the number the thicker or heavier the material.For instance:10 gauge steel is thicker than 18 gauge steel.A 5 gauge needle is much larger than a 10 gauge needle.A 12 gauge shotgun is larger than a 20 gauge.
Is 16 gauge steel bigger than 14 gauge steel?
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...

Is 10 gauge vinyl thicker than 6 gauge?
10 GA vinyl is thicker than 6GA vinyl. The higher the gauge the thicker the vinyl.
Is 10 gauge vinyl thicker than 6 gauge vinyl?
10 GA vinyl is thicker than 6GA vinyl. The higher the gauge the thicker the vinyl.
What is thicker 10 gauge or 12 gauge?
You could be referring to anything from shotguns to steel plate, but I'll take a wild guess you are referring to wire gauge. 10 gauge wire is thicker than 12 gauge. If you were referring to something other than wire, write again and tell us what you are referring to.
Is 8 gauge weld wire fencing stronger than 10 gauge wire?
Wire gauges are defined in such a way that the lower the gauge, the thicker the wire. So, 8 gauge wire is thicker than 10 gauge wire.
