16 gauge standard steel has a thickness of 0.0598 inches. 16 gauge galvanized steel has a thickness of 0.0635 inches.
16 swg is 1.63 mm thick
In Imperial standard (swg), 16 g is 0.064" (1.63mm) thick.
16 gauge what? Wire... sheet metal... shotgun? No, seriously; look up a guage thickness chart for the material in question.
The strength, durability, and longevity of steel caskets depends first of all on the quality and thickness of the metal sheets used. The United States Standard Gauge for the thickness of metal sheets is based on the number of sheets required to total one inch. The gauge number (ga) informs about the thickness of the steel sheets in such a way that the lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel. Low cost carbon steel caskets are usually made of 20-gauge steel. (20 sheets of 20ga steel have a thickness of one inch.) Twenty gauge steel sheets have a thickness of 1/20" or 0,8 mm; this is the same thickness as used in many automobile body panels. More expensive steel Caskets are made from 18- and 16-gauge steel. 16 ga steel sheets have a thickness of 1/16" or 1,3 mm. 16 ga steel is twice as heavy as 20 ga steel, 140% stronger and has a 140% longer life than 20ga.
An ultrasonic thickness gauge is required for measuring the thickness of different types of materials. The best ultrasonic thickness gauge you can buy is the Defelsko Corporation Ultrasonic Thickness gauge.
The thickness of 16 gauge steel in US standards is .0625 inches or 1.59 mm and according to UK standards is .065 inches or 1.651 mm.
There are many ways in which one would be able to change the thickness of a gauge. One might want to change the tension when increasing the thickness of a gauge.
1.5189mm I think this answer have some deviation of the right one, gauge 16 equals 1.59 mm
The gauge is the thickness of the jewelry (Usually the thickness of the wire the jewelry is made from but may also be the diameter of a plug or eyelet). From 20 gauge to 00 gauge, the smaller the number is, the thicker the jewelry is. After 00, the diameter of body jewelry is usually measured in fractional inches A 0 or 5/16" gauge is 0.325 decimal inches or 8.251 millimeters
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...
what is 9gauge in mm thickness
