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...

What is meant by gauges in measuring thickness of plates?
Gauge actually refers to the number of feet of iron wire it takes to weigh a pound....it takes 10 feet of 10 gauge iron wire to make a pound and it takes 30 feet of 30 gauge iron wire to make a pound. at some point in time this got applied to sheet metal and this gauge system works about the same way.....the bigger the number the thinner the sheet metal. Eg: The higher the gauge, the thinner the metal. If I'm not mistaken gauge is measured in millimeters, only backwards. Like in electrical wiring, 14 guage wire is about a 16th inch and 10 guage is almost a 1/4 inch etc. etc. In otherwords, the lower the gauge the thicker it is.
