several answers above are incorrect.
from the explanations, you need to take whatever the guage is and invert it....
comparing 10 guage to 9.....1/10 is thinner than 1/9. 1/30 is thinner than 1/15 etc.
Shame on the responses that get it wrong.
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...
The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel.
The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel.
45 mm is thicker than 25 mm
UK wire gauge - the higher the number the thinner the wire. So 25 would be thinner than 22.
Yes it is smaller in terms of diameter. Explanation: 25 gauge refers to a needle having an inner diameter of 1/25" (1/25 inches) and 22 gauge refers to a needle having an inner diameter of 1/22" (1/22 inches). Thus the 25 gauge needle has a smaller inner diameter than a 22 gauge needle.
A 25-gauge needle is smaller in diameter than a 23-gauge needle. The larger the gauge number, the thinner the needle, so a 25-gauge needle has a smaller lumen compared to a 23-gauge needle. This means that for tasks requiring finer needles, such as pediatric or cosmetic procedures, a 25-gauge needle would be preferred.

What is "it"?What is it? Wire? Sheet metal? What?PolytheneIn the case of polythene, gauge can be converted to thickness by dividing by four to get the thickness in micron or dividing by 4000 to get the thickness in mm. Here are some common examples:100 gauge = 25 micron = 0.025mm 120 gauge = 30 micron = 0.03mm 200 gauge = 50 micron = 0.05mm 250 gauge = 62.5 micron = 0.0625mm 400 gauge = 100 micron = 0.1mm
Winchester did not make a shotgun chambered in 25 gauge,as a matter of fact there has never been a 25 gauge shotgun made.Available chamberings were 12 gauge,16 gauge,20 gauge,28 gauge,and 410 gauge.

25 gauge is the size of the needle not the syringe. they are measured in cc's
