The lower the gauge the heavier, sheet metal, wire & shotguns...
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.
16 gauge is thicker than 18 gauge.
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...
18 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. 18 gauge is 1.27 mm thick while 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
16 ga is thicker than 18 ga.... the lower the number the thicker the wire size
The 12-gauge is thicker.
16 gauge is thicker than 18 gauge.
No. The larger the number, the thinner the steel. 16 gauge is the thicker of the two.
When it comes to the measurement gauge, the smaller the number the thicker or heavier the material.For instance:10 gauge steel is thicker than 18 gauge steel.A 5 gauge needle is much larger than a 10 gauge needle.A 12 gauge shotgun is larger than a 20 gauge.

16 gauge is thicker. The lower the number the thicker the materiel.
18 gauge
22 gauge is thicker than 18 gauge if you live in an upside down and backwards universe. But since we don't, 18 gauge is quite a bit heavier than 22 gauge.
Smaller number is thicker metal.
16 Gauge is thicker than 18....in England..the width of the jewelery is: 18 GA = 1.0mm 16 GA = 1.2mm :D
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
