Yes - there are many different formulae but the relationship of hardness to tensile or yield strength is at best very approximate. There is a general increase in hardness with increasing strength for most metals - where hardness has been measured by an indentation method such as Brinell.

The strength of metals is measured by the load (force) per unit area required to permanently deform the metal (this is the yield stress) or to break it (this is the breaking stress or fracture stress). The actual values of these quantities depend on the composition of the metal and on its mechanical and thermal treatment, and can vary by a factor of ten or more for common engineering alloys.

No. KSI is a unit of stress (1000 lb/sq inch). Grams are a unit of mass. Apples and Oranges.

Does thickness of a metal affect its electrical resistance?

Metals are conductive, but are not perfect conductors and so they have some electrical resistance. How the resistance of the metal is affected by "thickness" depends on what you mean by thickness. If the electrical current has to flow through a longer piece of metal, then the resistance of the metal to electrical flow would be greater. However, if you take that same length of metal and increase the area of the metal by increasing its "thickness", then the resistance of the metal becomes less.


How can one gauge the thickness of sheet metal?
