Metal gauge is inversely proportional to thickness, the bigger the thickness lesser the gauge. Following is conversion table:- 10 G : 3.15 MM 11 G : 2.8 MM 12 G : 2.5 MM etc....
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...
A gauge increment for steel refers to the standard measurement of thickness for steel sheets and plates, typically defined by the American Wire Gauge (AWG) system. As the gauge number increases, the thickness of the steel decreases; for example, a 10-gauge steel sheet is thicker than a 12-gauge sheet. The specific thickness associated with each gauge can vary slightly depending on the type of steel and its application, but generally, a lower gauge number indicates a thicker sheet.
A 100 gauge piece of aluminum has a thickness of 0.0010 inches. Gauge is a universal system used to measure the thickness of metal and wire.
.085 inches of sheet metal is typically 12 gauge.
12 gauge is thicker than 20 gauge. The lower the gauge, the thicker the sheet metal or wire.

12 gage
A 12 gauge metal is heavier than a 20 gauge metal. In the gauge measurement system, a lower gauge number indicates a thicker and heavier material. Specifically, 12 gauge metal is approximately 0.1046 inches thick, while 20 gauge metal is around 0.0320 inches thick, making the 12 gauge significantly heavier.

The 12-gauge is thicker.
Sheet steel is 4.375 lb per feet squared; 4.531 lb per feet squared for galvanized steel; Stainless steel is 4.41 lb per square feet; and 1.140 lb per squared feet for aluminum.
12 gauge vs. 14 gauge metal
Assuming this is a firearms question- the 14 gauge shotgun is very rare today. The bore diameter is smaller than a 12 g, larger than a 16g, and runs ABOUT 0.695 inches. That converts to about 17.65mm. If you are seeking to convert wire gauge, or sheet metal gauge to mm, please repost with that information.
