Yes it is.
Depends on what you are using if for.
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.
19 gauge steel is 1.11 mm thick and 20 gauge is .953 mm thick.
Pretty strong. It is about .1719 inches thick.
No, 6 gauge steel is thicker than 10 gauge steel. The gauge number decreases as the thickness of the steel increases, so a lower gauge number indicates a thicker steel.
The gauge of steel used in a steel garage typically varies from 14 to 26 gauge. The lower the gauge number, the thicker and more durable the steel. Thickness can also vary based on the specific design and structural requirements of the garage.
The lower the gauge number, the thicker the steel.
Yes it is.
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
20 gauge is thicker (the lower the number, the thicker the steel).
11 gauge steel is 0.125 inches thick.
Depends on what you are using if for.
No. The larger the number, the thinner the steel. 16 gauge is the thicker of the two.

They are close but not the same. For example, 14 gauge steel is .0781 inches thick while 14 gauge steel wire is .083 inches thick.
