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...

∙ 13y agoNope. 14 gauge is thicker (about 1.98 mm) while 16 gauge is about 1.59 mm thick.

∙ 13y agoIf it's the same alloy it is--25 gauge steel is thicker.

∙ 12y agono, in metal, as the gauge goes down, the thickness, ergo the strength, goes up. so 10 gauge steel would be stronger than 14 gauge

How much weight can 14 gauge steel tubed bench hold?
If you're referring to 14 gauge steel wire, about 60-65 pounds safely, but remember, supported weight depends not only on the wire, but the screws and nails that are attached to the object and the wall or ceiling. (Not to mention the material of the wall or ceiling. Drywall will hold much less than hardwood, so use a stud finder if possible to drill/nail into the wall or ceiling for added support) When in doubt, always use stronger, thicker materials than you think you'll need.
