No. The larger the number, the thinner the steel. 16 gauge is the thicker of the two.

16 gauge steel is 0.0598in. (1.52mm) and 16 gauge galvanised steel is 0.0635 (1.61). The easy way to remember is 16 gauge is 1.6mm
17/64ths of an inch for steel
Both 31 and 32 gauge are close:31 gauge = 0.0105"32 gauge = 0.0097"
10 gauge: 3.57 mm11 gauge: 3.18 mm
18 gauge steel is thicker than 19 gauge steel. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel; specifically, 18 gauge steel is approximately 0.048 inches thick, while 19 gauge steel is about 0.042 inches thick. Therefore, 18 gauge steel provides more strength and durability compared to 19 gauge.
Depends on what kind of steel: 18 Gauge Standard Steel is .0478 Inches. 18 Gauge Galvanized Steel is: 0.0516 inches thick. FYI 18 Gauge Aluminum is 0.0403 18 gage steel is 0.0478 inches thick 18 gage steel is 0.0478 inches thick
18 gauge steel is thicker than 20 gauge steel. The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel; therefore, 18 gauge steel has a greater thickness and typically offers more durability and resistance to dents and damage compared to 20 gauge steel. This makes 18 gauge sinks a popular choice for those seeking a sturdier option.
18 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. 18 gauge is 1.27 mm thick while 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
Depends on what you are using if for.
.0500 inches.
16 gauge is thicker than 18 gauge.
18 gauge steel is not bulletproof for rifle rounds but is for some very weak pistol calibers
18 gauge stainless steel is 0.0500 inches thick.
In general, 18 gauge steel tubing is stronger than 16 gauge aluminum tubing due to the inherent properties of steel, which has a higher tensile strength and durability compared to aluminum. While 16 gauge aluminum is thicker than 18 gauge steel, aluminum is lighter and not as strong as steel. Therefore, for structural applications where strength is critical, 18 gauge steel would typically be considered stronger. However, the specific use case and design requirements should also be considered.
The difference between 18 gauge and 22 gauge stainless steel is the thickness. The 18 gauge is 0.050" thick, and the 22 gauge is 0.031" thick. A link is provided below to an article with a list of the conversions. You'll note that the cited thickness for the gauges of stainless do not apply to galvanized steel, aluminum, zinc, brass or other metals.
The lower the gauge the heavier, sheet metal, wire & shotguns...
