How thick is 7 gauge steel?
3/16" or 0.1875" *** 7 gauge steel sheet is .1793", not .1875" *** Different metals have different thickness for their gauge...mild steel is .1793, aluminum is .1443, stainless steel is .1875
What is the difference of eightteen gauge versus sixteen gauge of stainless steel indicate?
16 gauge is thicker. Remember...the lower the guage the thicker the metal.
What is the Thickness of 20 gauge stainless steel?
The actual thickness associated with a "gauge range" varies largely by industry. Gauges are OK for ball-parking, but are not adequate for engineering purposes. Producing mills and reputable service centers work from actual measurements or minimum thicknesses.
What is the difference between stainless steel and real stainless steel in refrigerators?
Well, the answer lies in the question; by saying 'real' stainless steel, you are implying that there are fake metals which go under the name 'stainless steel', thus the difference is that the stainless steel in refigerators is actually stainless steel, and the fake stainless steel is not...thus your question is answered...

What is the difference between 18 gauge and 22 gauge stainless steel?
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.

Why does thin gauge stainless steel scratch easier than thicker gauge stainless steel?
It's simple really... much like Gold 24k is not as hard as 12k. There are different types of stainless steels: when nickel is added, for instance, the austenite structure of iron is stabilized.When considering stainless steel it's much the same as Gold. The lower the gage of metal i.e; 15g verses 18g the better grade of metal. Just because it's a stainless steel sink doesn't mean it will not stain. Often lower price sinks have less nickle and more iron in the stainless. This will allow the sink to develop rust areas and more apt to scratch.
